Difluoromethane, also called difluoromethylene, HFC-32 Methylene Fluoride or R-32, is an organic compound of the dihalogenoalkane variety. It has the formula of CH 2 F 2. It is a colorless gas in the ambient atmosphere and is slightly soluble in the water, with a high thermal stability.

Even though both are at 100 oC, steam creates more severe burns than boiling water because steam holds more heat in the form of latent heat than boiling water. When water turns to steam, it absorbs energy from the environment and becomes hot. The hotter something is, the faster its molecules move; this makes it more energetic.

Give reason for the higher boiling point of ethanol in comparison to methoxymethane.

This is the reason why water has a high Boiling Point. Liquid helium, on the other hand, has the lowest Boiling Point - 4.2°C above absolute zero. This is because the bonds this element forms are weaker in nature and require less energy, which is why its Boiling Point is so low.

This phenomenon is called boiling point elevation. For every mole of particles dissolved in a liter of water, the boiling point of water increases by about 0.5°C. The addition of one mole of sucrose (molecular compound) in one liter of water will raise the boiling point from 100 0 C to 100.5 0 C but the addition of one mole of NaCl in one.
