Why alcohols boil at high temperature than alkanes?
Asked by Topperlearning User | 26 Mar, 2014, 10:05: AM
Expert Answer
In alcohols, a large number of molecules are joined by hydrogen bonding. Hence, energy is required to break the H-bonds for separating the individual molecules. Thus association through H-bonding reduces the volatility which causes an increase in the boiling point. Thus, alcohols boils at higher temperature than alkanes.
