The boiling point of ethanol is 78,37 0C, but ethanol is volatile also at very low temperatures, for ex. at 0 0C.

Can ethanol become a solid?

Any element can become a solid at a certain temperature so yes, it can become a solid.


Is methanol a volatile liquid at room temperature true or false?

ethanol Edit- this would be methanol because ethanol is a 2-carbon chain compared to the 1C in ethanol, and therefore has more intermolecular forces. As a result, molecules of ethanol would need more energy to break these intermolecular forces to be in a gaseous phase.


Who require more temperature for easily evaporation its volatile liquid or non volatile liquid?

A volatile liquid evaporates easily and so requires lesser temperature. A non-volatile liquid requires more temperature to evaporate


What is volatile impurity?

A non volatile impurity does not have a tendency to form a vapor at the temperature of the substance it is mixed with. For example, adding salt to boiling water does not form a vapor of any sort.


Is ethanol a liquid at room temperature?

Ethanol is indeed a liquid at standard temperature and pressure.


Are esters more volatile than alcohols?

There are two factors which determine the vapor pressure of ethanol (because what makes ethanol volatile is that it was a high vapor pressure).What makes the vapor pressure of ethanol quite high is that it is a small molecule with a low molecular weight. In fact, if you look at other molecules with similar size and weight, many of them are gases at room temperature. The molecular weight of ethanol (C2H5OH) is approximately 46 grams/mole. Carbon dioxide (CO2) has a molecular weight of 44 grams/mole, but it is a gas. Butane, C4H6 has a molecular weight of 54 g/mol and is a gas. Chlorine (Cl2) is a gas with molecular weight of 71 g/mol! So you might predict that ethanol should be a gas at room temperature from this.However, ethanol is a liquid. The reason it is a liquid is because it can hydrogen bond. The alcohol group, -OH, in the molecule has both a hydrogen bonded to an oxygen atom, which is allows for hydrogen bonding. Hydrogen bonding is a very strong intermolecular force, and this is what makes ethanol a liquid (and water too, which has a molecular weight of only 18 g/mol -- water is not volatile because it has two -OH groups, and so can hydrogen bond much better than ethanol can).So ethanol is volatile because it is a small and light molecule, but it is not as volatile as you might otherwise expect due to hydrogen bonding.

What are ethanol?

Ethanol is an alcohol that is commonly found in alcoholic beverages. It is also called ethyl alcohol, and is a volatile, flammable, colorless liquid. C2H5OH is its chemical formula.


Is it advisable to heat ethanol directly with a Bunsen flame?

It is not advisable to heat ethanol with a Bunsen flame because of the low boiling point and its volatile nature. Ethanol is also flammable, and therefore it is best to heat ethanol on a heat plate or steam condenser.
