What is the specific heat of alcohol?

The specific heat of ethyl alcohol, used in most alcoholic beverages, is ~ 0.6 cal/g/°C.


What is the solute and solvent in wine?

In wine the solute is ethyl alcohol and solvent is water.


What is the relationship between flash point and initial boiling point in diesel?

The flash point of diesel fuel is the lowest temperature at which its vapors can ignite in air, while the initial boiling point is the temperature at which the first portion of the liquid begins to evaporate. Generally, diesel has a flash point that is higher than its initial boiling point, indicating that it requires a higher temperature to ignite compared to the temperature at which it starts to vaporize. This relationship is crucial for safety and storage considerations, as it affects handling and potential fire hazards. In essence, the flash point helps define the flammability risk associated with the fuel under different temperature conditions.


What is the usage of diethyl malonate in organic synthesis?

Diethyl malonate, a colourless, fragrant liquid boiling at 199 C, is prepared by the reaction of monochloroacetatic acid with methanol, carbon monoxide or by the reaction cyanoacetic acid (the half nitriled-malonic acid) with ethyl alcohol. Diethyl malonate is an important intermediate in syntheses of vitamins B1 and B6, barbiturates, non-steroidal anti-inflammatory agents, other numerous pharmaceuticals, agrochemicals and flavors & fragrances compounds.


What is the substitution chemical to ethyl mercaptan in LPG?

Tetrahydrothiophene and amyl mercaptan are examples; but ethyl mercaptan is preferred now.

Why boiling point of ethyl alcohol is higher as compared to dimethyl ether?

The boiling point of ethyl alcohol is higher than that of dimethyl ether because ethyl alcohol has stronger intermolecular forces (hydrogen bonding) between its molecules than dimethyl ether, which only has weaker van der Waals forces. These stronger intermolecular forces in ethyl alcohol require more energy to overcome, resulting in a higher boiling point.


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.


Is benzene or ethyl ether highly volatile?

Ethyl ether is more volatile than benzene. Ethyl ether has a lower boiling point and vapor pressure, making it easier for it to evaporate rapidly. Benzene is less volatile compared to ethyl ether due to its higher boiling point and lower vapor pressure.


What would be the effect on the boiling point of ethyl alcohol if the pressure were reduced during the distillation process?

Reducing the pressure during the distillation process would lower the boiling point of ethyl alcohol. This is because lowering the pressure decreases the atmospheric pressure acting on the liquid, making it easier for the alcohol to vaporize and boil at a lower temperature.


How do you separate ethyl alcohol from a mixture?

First, place the beverage in a container that can be sealed (a flask would be perfect.) Connect this container to another that is submerged in ice water. It may be a good idea to attach a balloon to this apparatus to allow for the air expansion. Then heat up the container with the beverage in it until it starts simmering (don't make it boil rapidly because then you'll be creating water vapour.) In theory, the Ethanol will evaporate and go to the second container and then condense on the sides of the container. This process will undoubtfully ruin the taste of the wine or beer, but you'll have a very strong cleaning agent in the other container (that you should certainly not consider drinking!)


Why do all liquids NOT evaporate at the same time?

Because all liquids have different boiling points. For instance: the boiling point of ethyl alcohol (the kind you drink) is 172.4 oF, while that of methyl alcohol (the kind that will kill you or make you blind if you drink it) is 151 oF, and isopropyl alcohol (the kind you use for a massage) is 177 oF. The boiling point of glycerine is 554 oF, while that of hydrogen is -423 oF.


Why ethyl alcohol is vapor?

It's not technically speaking, a vapour. But it is a volatile liquid (It readily evaporates). Boiling point is to do with the interactions between the molecules in a liquid. The stronger the interaction, the more energy is required to pull them apart. So the energy (heat) supplied at it's boiling boiling point is sufficient to break the interactions in ethanol. The boiling point of ethanol is 78.1 °C.


What is the boiling point of alcohol?

There are many different kinds of alcohol, and each has its own boiling point. Here are just the first two: Methyl alcohol, (methanol) - B.P. = 64.7 °C, 148.5 F° (337.8 K) Ethyl alcohol (ethanol) - B.P. = 78.4 °C, 173.1 F° (351.6 K)


Is ethyl alcohol soluble in water?

Yes, ethanol (ethyl alcohol), as being a fluid by itself, is in any ratio miscible with ('soluble in') water.At 96% ethanol the mixture has the lowest boiling point, so destillation of a water-ethanol will never give a higher ethanol content.


Which has a higher melting point Sodium Chloride or Ethyl Alcohol?

Sodium Chloride has a higher melting point because at room temperature it is a solid but Ethyl alcohol has already melted, as it is liquid.


On the basis of its boiling point identify the pure liquid as either ethyl acetate or butyl acetate?

To identify a substance, you must find more than its boiling point. Also look for its freezing point and density.


What is boiling point of butyl acetate?

Boiling point of ethyl butyrate: + 121 °C.
