Question

Ethyl alcohol has a higher boiling point than water.

• A. True
• B. False

Answer 1

The correct option is A True

• The boiling point is the temperature at which the pressure of the surroundings and the vapor pressure of the liquid becomes equal.
• The hydrogen bonding present in ethyl alcohol is less extensive than in water.
• As a result, the molecules of ethyl alcohol can escape out to the environment more easily than water.
• So, the temperature required for boiling is less.

Thus, the given statement is true.
