Asserion (A): The boiling point of C_(2)H_(5)OH is less than that of H_(2)O though the molecular weight of C_(2)H_(5)OH is more than that of water. Reason (R): C_(2)H_(5)OH molecules are not highly associated through hydrogen bonding as water is

Assertion (A) : CH_(3)OCH_(3) and C_(2)H_(5)OH has comparable molecular weight but boiling point of C_(2)H_(5)OH is more than dimethyl ether. Reason (R) : C_(2)H_(5)OH forms intermolecular. H-bonding while CH_(3)OCH_(3) forms intramolecular H-bonding.

Explain the following : (a) Dimethyl ether has a lower boiling point (249K) than ethyl alcohol (351K) although both have same molecular masses. (b) Ethers have low solubility in water but high solubility in conc. H_(2)SO_(4) .

Assertion: Alcohols have higher boiling points than ethers of comparable molecular masses. Reason: Alcohols and ethers are isomerism in nature.

Out of CH_(3)-NH_(2) and (CH_(3))_(3)N which one has higher boiling point?
