Answer

The molecular mass of toluene and phenol are approximately the same such as mass of toluene is 92.14g and mass of phenol is 94.112g. But the phenol has a higher boiling point than toluene because phenol have ability to form intermolecular hydrogen bonding but toluene does not form intermolecular hydrogen bonding.
