Ethyl alcohol `(C_(2)H_(5)OH)` has higher boiling point than dimethyl ether `(CH_(3)-O-CH_(3))` although the molecular weight of both are same due to

Explanation

Both are functional isomers. However, intermolecular hydrogen bonding is present in butan-1-ol molecules while it is absent in the molecules of diethyl ether. Therefore, boiling point of diethyl ether. Therefore, boiling point of alcohol (390 K) is higher as compared to that of ether (308 K).
