Hey there !!!
Ethanol ( C₂H₅OH) has higher boiling point than Methanol(CH₃OH) because boiling point is directly proportional to number of carbons present in the compound.
Ethanol has 2 Carbons in the straight chain where as Methanol consists of only 1 carbon as a result Ethanol has higher boiling point than Methanol .
Hope this helps you .........
