Answer:

The boiling point of alcohols also increase as the length of hydrocarbon chain increases. The reason why alcohols have a higher boiling point than alkanes is because the intermolecular forces of alcohols are hydrogen bonds, unlike alkanes with van der Waals forces as their intermolecular forces.
