Name Date CONSIDER THIS 1. Water has a considerably higher boiling point and lower vapor pressure than other molecules of similar or larger molar mass. For example, dinitrogen (N2), methane (CH4), methanol (CH3OH), acetone [O=C(CH3)2], and dimethyl ether (CH3OCH3) all have lower boiling points and higher vapor pressures than water at the same temperature. How might this be explained?
