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.
What is ethanol family name and characteristics?
Ethanol is from Alcohol family. They are very flammable, give blue flame, volatile, nearly neutral, and contain only carbon, hydrogen and oxgen.

Why do you heat flammable liquid such as methanol with an electric heater rather than a Bunsen burner?
Two main reasons - one is that the bunsen burner flame is actually quite small in relation to the dimensions of the bottom of the beaker. If you take something that has a small surface area in relation to the size of the flame (for example a glass rod) that can be made to soften in a bunsen burner flame much more easily. The second reason is that the beaker or flask will generally contain something that you are trying to heat up or boil. So heat energy from the flame will initially transfer through the glass into that substance and be "used up" in bringing this liquid up to its boiling point,
