Why does ethanol (CH3CH2OH) have a higher vapor presure than water at 60 °C? A Ethanol has stronger intermolecular forces between molecules than water (because it's a bigger molecule and therefore has higher London dispersion forces) B Ethanol has weaker intermolecular forces between molecules than water. C Ethanol is nonpolar, while water is polar. Ethanol boils below this temperature. Less molecules can escape the liquid phase E in ethanol because they have a lower kinetic energy than the molecules in water.
