Boiling Point of Common Alcohols
The boiling point of alcohols varies depending on their molecular structure and size. Generally, as the molecular weight of the alcohol increases, so does its boiling point.
The following table provides a comprehensive list of boiling point values for various alcohols at 1 atmospheric (atm) pressure. (1 atm = 101,325 Pa)
