Question

why is the boiling point of ethanol higher than acetaldehyde?​

Answer 1

Answer:

Explanation:

The polar carbon-to-oxygen double bond causes aldehydes and ketones to have higher boiling points than those of ethers and alkanes of similar molar masses but lower than those of comparable alcohols that engage in intermolecular hydrogen bonding.

Answer 2

Answer:

Explanation:

Due presence of high hydrogen bonds as intermolecular forces holding the ethanol molecules togehter . so more energy is required to break them hence they have higher boiling point than acetadehyde
