A mixture of ethyl alcohol and water actually boils at a lower temperature than either pure ethanol or pure water (the word for this is azeotrope). This is why you don't see liquors higher than 190 proof; that's essentially the maximum possible ethanol concentration you can get from distillation. It is possible to get 200 proof/100% ethanol ("absolute alcohol" in chemistry jargon) but it requires a more complicated and expensive procedure than ordinary distillation. If the starting material of the distillation was more than 95% ethanol then ethanol will remain; if it was less then water will remain.

Liquid alcohol will change to vapor when its temperature reaches the A boiling point B fusing point C freezing point D melting point?
A given form of liquid alcohol will turn to vapor at its boiling point, which is different for each type of alcohol.
What is the boiling point for achol?
The boiling point for alcohol depends on the type of alcohol. For ethanol or grain alcohol it is 173.1 F and for isopropyl alcohol 177 F.
When does gas changes to liquid?
When it reaches it's boiling point.
What effect does ethanol have on the boiling point of water?
The pure ethanol has the boiling point 78.5 celsius while water has 100 celsius so when water is added to ethanol its boiling point becomes increased.
Boiling point of pure alcohol?
There are a huge number of alcohols - each with its own boiling point when pure. There is, therefore, no simple answer.
Liquid alcohol will chage to vapor when its temperature reaches the?
A. boiling point
When will liquid alcohol change to a vapor?
when its temperature reaches the boiling point.
Liquid alcohol will change to vapor when its temperature reaches the A boiling point B fusing point C freezing point D melting point?
A given form of liquid alcohol will turn to vapor at its boiling point, which is different for each type of alcohol.
Liquid alcohol will change to vapor when its temperature reaches the what?
Liquid alcohol will change to vapor when its temperature reaches its boiling temperature. When alcohol reaches its boiling temperature, each molecule of alcohol has enough energy to separate from each other, so each molecule can move freely. The boiling point of liquid alcohol is 351K or 78C
When will liquid alcohol change to vapor?
Any form of liquid alcohol will change to vapor when its temperature reaches the boiling point (different for each type of alcohol).Alcohol (ethyl alcohol) is a volatile liquid and changes in to vapours at every temperature although its boiling point is 78.5 Celsius.
Why does the kinetic energy of water molecules remain the same when it reaches the boiling point?
average kinetic energy of molecules is roughly equivilant to temperature. as water reaches boiling point the temperature stops increasing. Instead the energy your putting in makes a phase change from liquid to gas.
What change of state occurs when a substance reaches it's melting point. What occurs when it reaches it's boiling point?
When a substance reaches its melting point it changes from solid to liquid. When a substance reaches its boiling point it changes from liquid to gas.
Why can't and alcohol thermometer be used to measure the boiling point of water?
Because the boiling point of alcohol is lower than the boiling point of water.
Need a sentence for boiling point?
When the water reaches boiling point, add the potato flakes.
At what point will a liquid turn into a gas?
When it reaches its boiling point
What is the boiling point for achol?
The boiling point for alcohol depends on the type of alcohol. For ethanol or grain alcohol it is 173.1 F and for isopropyl alcohol 177 F.
To evaporate do you need a high or a low boiling point?
Evaporation begins when a substance reaches its boiling point.
