GeneralChem:(1)Which has a higher vapor pressure:ether or water?(2)Therefore, which has a lower boiling point?
966324
Ether has a higher saturated vapor pressure than water. Thus the former boils at a lower temperature than the latter.

altitude.....higher altitude means lower air pressure.  Liquids, water included, vaporizes at lower temp when pressure lowers.  (a glass of water will boil at room temp in a vaccumn)

OK...To answer this, you have to recognize that the free energy change at the boiling point is zero.  So, beginning with DG (D=Delta), you have:\n\nDG=DH-TDS=0\n\nSo, DS=DH/T \n\nwhere T is the boiling point is Kelvin.  If you substitute the values for DH and T, you can calculate the entropy change for the vaporization of trimethylamine.

Water is H2O. Two hydrogen and one oxygen. Water is the universal solvent because it mixes well with most substances. Water is the most common and mysterious substances on earth. Water is suppose to be a gas ,but it's a liquid at room temperature. Water has a negative side (oxygen) and a positive side (hydrogen). This is another reason why water is the universal solvent it can dissolve just about any solute because the H and O are at 102o angel which means it can pick up most solutes. 97% of the earth's water is salt water will only less than 3% is drinkable. 70% of the earth's animals live in salt water. All animals need water.

A compound contains more than one element (H2O).  A molecule may contain atoms of one element only (O2).

As one adds the salt there is increase in boiling point due to the elevation in it which is the result of the colligative properties.\nTherefore pure water (free from any salt) has the lowest boiling point.

Quite obviously faster. To boil over and turn to vapour, the water molecules near the surface need a lower amount of energy when the water is being boiled in a rarer atmosphere.

Water.\n\nIt is the letter H to O, or H2O.

Ether, or diethyl ether as it is more correctly called is made by combining ethanol molecules with each other on a catalyst so that ether and water is formed as the product. 2Ethanol + heat + catalyst = 1 diethyl ether + 1 H2O

The first answer is correct. Here is a page to help you figure out the altitude. You punch in the elevation and it will tell you the boiling point.

The higher the altitude, the lower the atmospheric pressure. The less atmospheric pressure that bears down on the surface of the liquid, the easier it is for water molecules to escape into the air. Thus, the water comes to its full rapid boil at a lower temperature in the mile-high city of Denver than it can in coastal Miami. For each thousand feet above sea level, the boiling point of water drops almost 2° F.
