Question
The boiling point of ethyl alcohol is much higher than that of dimethyl ether and 
, though both have the same molecular weight. The reason for this is:
- Ether is insoluble in water
- Methyl groups are attached to oxygen in ether
- Dipole moment of ethyl alcohol is less
- Ethyl alcohol shows hydrogen bonding
The correct answer is: Ethyl alcohol shows hydrogen bonding
H-bonding in molecule gives rise to higher b.p

Consider a disc rotating in the horizontal plane with a constant angular speed w about its centre O. The disc has a shaded region on one side of the diameter and an unshaded region on the other side as shown in the figure. When the disc is in the orientation as shown, two pebbles P and Q are simultaneously projected at an angle towards R. The velocity of projection is in the y-z plane and is same for both pebbles with respect to the disc. Assume that (i) they land back on the disc before the disc has completed 1/8 rotation, (ii) their range is less than half the disc radius, and (iii) w remains constant throughout. Then
