Why is the boiling point of acetone lower than water?

The attraction between acetone molecules is weaker than those between water molecules. The normal boiling point of acetone is less than that of water. So vapour pressure of a liquid acetone is higher than the water in a closed container. ... Water has a risk of freezing at lower temperature.

Hii..
Here is your answer..
=>Acetone has a lower boiling point than water because it has a higher vapor pressure. Liquids boil at the temperature where their vapor pressure is equal to the atmoshperic pressure.
The temperature that acetone must get to, such that its v p is equal to the pressure of the atmosphere, is lower than what is required for water.
Hence, Acetone has a lower boiling point.
Hope it helps uh....✌️✌️✌️
