Why does your hand feel cool if you spill alcohol?
The alcohol removes heat from your hand. This is used to evaporate the liquid.
Why on heating a liquid to boiling point heat energy is converted to potential energy?
the heat is a form of energy...and heat is stored is the water...so heat energy become potential energy because heat is stored in water
Why is a child with a high fever given a sponge bath with water mixed with rubbing alcohol?
To help cool the child down. The evaporating alcohol would help with the cooling. To evaporate the alcohol needs some energy and it would take heat from the child's skin thus helping with the cooling. The water would remove heat from the skin by evaporation and conduction.
How can you heat rubbing alcohol?
Boil it like water
If water boils at 100degrees and alcohol boils at 70degreesIf you have 500ml of each at a temperature of 20degrees which liquid would require most heat energy to make it boil?
The water will be require more water because it needs 80degrees more heat than the alchohol which only needs 50degrees more heat.
What is in the water that leads it to dry lastly than alcohol?
water has a lower vapor pressure than alcohol, so it requires more heat energy to cause it to evaporate.
Why a hydrotherapy treatment involving heat should not be performed on a client who have been drinking alcohol?
Hydrotherapy using heat relaxes as does alcohol.
Is it safe to store drinking water in barrels which previously held denatured alcohol?
Only if you intend to heat it to a suitable high temperature afterwards.
Why did water dried up first than acetone and alcohol?
water has a lower vapor pressure than alcohol or acetone, so it requires more heat energy to cause it to evaporate.
Which local materials will keep the ice from melting fast?
The Answer: Alcohol The ice begins pulling heat (energy) from the alcohol. It is not the ice cooling the alcohol it is the alcohol that transfers heat to the ice (solid water). The ice draws heat from the warmer alcohol inducing the ice to melt. This is because the freezing point of the alcohol is much lower than the ice. If we were to keep the ice in the glass (by adding more) the rate of melting of the ice would slow because the heat (energy loss) of the alcohol has been reduced. But it would indeed continue to draw heat from the alcohol just more slowly. {this of course would require no atmosphere heat (energy) from contacting either the ice or the alcohol.} If we had solid CO2 (dry ice) it could draw enough energy (heat) from the alcohol to freeze it solid. {this of course would require no atmosphere heat (energy) from contacting either the ice or the alcohol. Plus a lot of dry ice to replace what has melted or sublimated away.} By: Mark L. Vizon

What has a higher specific heat water or rubbing alcohol?
rubbing alcohol has higher specific heat

What is alcohol changed to when it is burned for energy?
The alcohol is "oxidized" like any other fuel, producing water and carbon dioxide. The reaction is C2H5OH + 3 O2 → 2 CO2 + 3 H2O + heat energy (from the CH bonds).
What type of energy is used to heat water?
Several types of energy can be used to heat water. Electric energy can heat water, like in a coffee maker. Chemical energy can be used as in a gas stove.
How do you heat water without energy?
No energy, no heat. So you cannot add heat.
Why do water molecules retain heat energy?
Water molecules retain energy due to heat transfer.
