Questions & Step-by-Step Solutions

Which of the following has the highest boiling point?
  • Step 1: Understand what boiling point means. It is the temperature at which a liquid turns into a gas.
  • Step 2: Identify the substances you are comparing. In this case, we are looking at water and possibly other liquids.
  • Step 3: Learn about hydrogen bonding. This is a strong type of attraction that occurs between water molecules.
  • Step 4: Recognize that strong hydrogen bonds require more energy to break, which means a higher temperature is needed for water to boil.
  • Step 5: Compare the boiling points of the substances. Water typically boils at 100 degrees Celsius (212 degrees Fahrenheit).
  • Step 6: Conclude that because of its strong hydrogen bonds, water has a higher boiling point than many other common liquids.
