Questions & Step-by-Step Solutions

Which of the following liquids has the highest boiling point?
  • Step 1: Understand what boiling point means. The boiling point is the temperature at which a liquid turns into a gas.
  • Step 2: Identify the liquids you are comparing. For example, water, alcohol, and oil.
  • Step 3: Learn about hydrogen bonding. Hydrogen bonding is a strong attraction between water molecules.
  • Step 4: Compare the strength of the bonds in each liquid. Water has strong hydrogen bonds, while alcohol and oil have weaker bonds.
  • Step 5: Conclude that because water has strong hydrogen bonds, it requires more heat to break these bonds, resulting in a higher boiling point.
