Question

C2H6O is the empirical formula for both ethyl alcohol, CH3CH2OH and dimethyl ether, CH3OCH3. In order to boil CH3CH2OH the strongest intermolecular forces that must be overcome are (London dispersion, dipole-dipole, hydrogen bonding) forces. In order to boil CH3OCH3 the strongest intermolecular forces that must be overcome are (London dispersion, dipole-dipole, hydrogen bonding) forces. Which compound is expected to have the higher boiling point?
