Question

If the boiling point of  is 373 K, the boiling point of  will be:

Canvas Classes · Accepted Answer

Step 1 — Compare intermolecular forces:

: O–H bonds + lone pairs on O → strong intermolecular hydrogen bonding → high boiling point (373 K)

: S is not electronegative enough for significant H-bonding → only Van der Waals forces (weak)

Step 2 — Boiling point of :
- Without H-bonding,  has much weaker intermolecular forces
- Actual boiling point of  ≈ 213 K (−60°C)
- This is less than 300 K

Answer: Option (1) — Less than 300 K
