If the boiling point of methoxymethane is 248K, predict the boiling point of ethanol.(a) 231K(b) 248K(c) 351K(d) 455KI have been asked this question during an online interview.This interesting question is from Alcohols and Phenols topic in chapter Alcohols, Phenols and Ethers of Chemistry – Class 12

Answer»

Right option is (c) 351K

The best I can explain: Methoxymethane and ethanol are of COMPARABLE masses and it can be easily pointed out that ethanol will have a higher boiling point than it because of the presence of INTERMOLECULAR HYDROGEN bonding. 455K is very high and is actually the boiling point of PHENOL.
