Question

Why is the boiling point of ethanol higher than ethane?

Answer 1

Answer:

Explanation:

Ethanol is alcohol

Ethane is alkane

Boiling point of ethanol is greater than that of ethane because there exists hydrogen bonding in alcohol molecules.

Due to which they have high boiling points.

On the other hand,there is no hydrogen bonding in ethane that's why they have low boiling point.

Due to this reason,ethanol is liquid and ethane is gas.
