engineering chemistry MCQ #75

  1. Question 1

    Q1. The boiling point of ethanol is higher than that of dimethyl ether due to

    • A) Hydrogen bonding
    • B) Dipole-dipole interactions
    • C) London dispersion forces
    • D) Ion-dipole interactions

    Answer: Hydrogen bonding

    Explanation: Ethanol has hydrogen bonding, a strong intermolecular force, increasing its boiling point compared to dimethyl ether, which lacks it.
