Boiling point of ethanol is higher in comparison to methoxymethane


Asked by admin @ in Chemistry viewed by 271 People


Give reason for the higher boiling point of ethanol in comparison to methoxymethane.

Answered by admin @



Ethanol undergoes intermolecular H-bonding due to the presence of -OH group, resulting in the association of molecules. Extra energy is required to break these hydrogen bonds. On the other hand, methoxymethane does not undergo H-bonding. Hence, the boiling point of ethanol is higher than that of methoxymethane.
