The boiling point is the temperature at which the vapour pressure of the solution or becomes equal to the ambient pressure, and bubbles of vapour form directly in the liquid. The normal boiling point is specified when the ambient pressure (and also the vapour pressure of the boiling liquid) is ONE atmosphere.

And so where strong operate, for instance in hydrogen-bonded liquids, boiling point should be elevated. More energy has to be put into the system to disrupt the intermolecular force. And the best indicator of intermolecular or inter-particle force is boiling point.

Why do ionic compounds tend to have higher boiling and melting points than molecular compounds have?

Ionic species are essentially non-molecular with NO molecular boundaries. Given the fact that there are no discrete molecules and strong electrostatic interaction between ions it takes a lot of energy...

Why is the boiling point of $H_2Te$ higher than the boiling point of $H_2S$?

There is some little degree of hydrogen- in $H_2S$, tho much less so than in $H_2O$....and hence water is a room temperature liquid. On the other hand, while the degree...

Why is the boiling point of water higher than the boiling point of chlorine?

Water has H bonded to electronegative O, which results in a permanent dipole moment. A lot of energy is needed to disrupt the hydrogen bonding between water molecules as compared...

Why do some ionic compounds have some solubility in water; why do ionic compounds have high melting and boiling points?

Ionic are non-molecular; they do not have molecular boundaries. In the solid-state, each particle, each ion, is bound electrostatically to every other counterion in the lattice, and repelled by every...

Which are stronger bonds, ionic bonds or intermolecular forces? Which have higher melting points, ionic compounds or molecular compounds?

Ionic compounds are inherently non-molecular. Each cation is electrostatically ATTRACTED to EVERY other anion in the crystal. Of course, each cation is electrostatically REPELLED by EVERY other cation in the...

Why is the boiling point of $NH_3$ higher than the boiling point of $PH_3$ and $AsH_3$?

Ammonia, boiling point $-33$ $""^@C$, has demonstrably greater intermolecular bonding than that of phosphine, boiling point $-87.7$ $""^@C$, or that of arsine, boiling point $-62.5$ $""^@C$. The difference in intermolecular...

Can you identify the following as weak acid, strong acid, weak base, strong base, or neutral? How do you determine this?

Simply from the $K_a$, or the $"pKa"$. Or, the $K_b$, or the $"pKb"$, if comparing by dissociation in water. The higher the $K_a$ or lower the $"pKa"$, the stronger...

Why does a strong acid have a weak conjugate base, whereas a weak acid has a relatively strong conjugate base?

Since strong acids completely dissociate in water, their conjugate bases cannot bond to a $H^+$. This is why there is not an equilibrium when strong acids are in water....

What considerations apply when a weak acid is titrated with a strong base, as opposed to a strong acid with a strong base?

If, say, we have equimolar, say $1.0*mol*L^-1$ $HX_"i"$ and $HX_"ii"$, where $HX_"ii"$ is a weak acid, then clearly, for equivalence, we need to add equimolar quantities of strong base. There...

Why does glycerol have a higher normal boiling than triacetin, $HC{OC(=O)CH_3}_3$, even though the latter molecule has a higher molecular mass?

The answer is $"hydrogen bonding"$. $"Glycerol"$, $H_2C(OH)CH(OH)CH_2(OH)$ is extremely viscous, and is quite involatile, $"b.p = 290"^@C$. Clearly, the degree of intermolecular force, i.e. the force BETWEEN molecules, is substantial....
