Answer #1

One of the reasons for this might be intermolecular hydrogen bonding between the molecules of methanol and water. This bonding is very strong which makes their boiling points high.

Pure methanol might not have very strong intermolecular hydrogen bonding as that of aqueous methanol. Hence, pure methanol boils at low temperature compared to aqueous methanol.
