Question

Ethanolhavelowerboilingpointthanformicacid.why?​

Answer 1

Formic acid forms dimer due to which strength of H - bond increases. Hence, the boiling point increases.

Answer 2

Answer:

Even the simplest carboxylic acid, formic acid, boils at 101 °C (214 °F), which is considerably higher than the boiling point of ethanol (ethyl alcohol), C2H5OH, which boils at 78.5 °C (173 °F), although the two have nearly identical molecular weights
