Cooking oil has a boiling pt of 200 degress, water is 100 degrees. explain theses facts given the strength of waters hydrogen bonds

Answer 1

The molar mass of cooking oil is MUCH high than that of water and the boiling point of water, in theory at least, should be low enough for H2O to be a gas at room temperature. However, the hydrogen bonding is H2O is such a large factor that it actual boils at 100 and not much lower.
