By "alcohol," I am assuming that you are asking about ethyl alcohol; the alcohol present in intoxicating liquors and Alcoholic Beverages.
Ethyl alcohol is a clear, colorless, liquid at room temperature. Its boiling point is 173.1 °F (78.4 °C) and its melting point is -173 °F (-114 °C).
The two next most common alcohols are isopropyl alcohol and methyl alcohol. Both of these alcohols are more toxic than ethyl alcohol, although methyl alcohol is extremely toxic. In actuality, methyl alcohol itself is not especially toxic, however it is rapidly converted into formaldehyde then into formic acid by the liver, and these compounds are what cause permanent blindness or death, depending on the dose.
The toxicity of methanol and of other alcohols is why it is so important to never consume any "alcohol" except that which is commercially produced or beers and wines made by trustworthy brewers and winemakers. Essentially all commercial liquors, beers, and wines contain a very small and harmless amount of methyl alcohol. It is also highly unlikely that illegal liquor will naturally contain harmful amounts of methyl alcohol. The danger with consuming "moonshine" or "white lightning" and cheap wines of dubious origin is that the consumer has no idea if the producers have added methanol or some other alcohol or ethylene glycol (in radiator fluid) to the illegal liquors or wines, respectively, unless it is tested first. There aren't a whole lot of back-woods illegal liquor makers who hold a Ph.D. in chemistry or Biology; some of them think alcohol always means ethyl alcohol.

How long does it take for rubbing alcohol to evaporate at room temperature?
Rubbing alcohol typically evaporates at room temperature within a few minutes to a few hours, depending on the amount applied and the specific conditions.
Does isopropyl alcohol evaporate at room temperature?
Yes, isopropyl alcohol evaporates at room temperature.
What is the physical state of alcohol?
Ethanol, for example, is liquid at room temperature.
What is germanium state at room temperature?
Germanium at room temperature is in the state of a Solid
What is the normal evaporation rate of alcohol at room temperature?
The normal evaporation rate of alcohol at room temperature can vary depending on factors such as the type of alcohol, surface area exposed, and air circulation. Generally, alcohol evaporates faster than water at room temperature due to its lower boiling point.
What state of matter is alchol in?
At room temperature, it's in a liquid state. Think of rubbing alcohol, or even drinking alcohol.
How long does it take for rubbing alcohol to evaporate at room temperature?
Rubbing alcohol typically evaporates at room temperature within a few minutes to a few hours, depending on the amount applied and the specific conditions.
How long does it take for rubbing alcholo to evaporate at room temperature?
The evaporation time for rubbing alcohol at room temperature can vary based on factors like airflow, humidity, and the surface area exposed. Generally, it can take anywhere from a few minutes to around 30 minutes for rubbing alcohol to fully evaporate in an open environment. Higher temperatures and good ventilation can speed up this process.
A compound that vaporizes readily at room temperature is most likely to be a?
A liquid compound that vaporizes readily at room temperature is called a volatile liquid. An example of this would be gasoline or rubbing alcohol
Does isopropyl alcohol evaporate at room temperature?
Yes, isopropyl alcohol evaporates at room temperature.
What is the density of rubben alcohol?
The density of rubbing alcohol is about 0.8 g/millilitre depending on how much water is in it and whether it is based on ethanol or isopropyl alcohol. The density doesn't depend on the volume.
What is the physical state of alcohol?
Ethanol, for example, is liquid at room temperature.
Do alcohol at ordinary temperature has liquid or gaseous state?
Ethanol (the kind of alcohol you get in drinks) is liquid at room temperature. It boils at around 78'C, so will become a vapour at this point.
What is germanium state at room temperature?
Germanium at room temperature is in the state of a Solid
What is the compressibility of isopropyl alcohol?
The compressibility of isopropyl alcohol (also known as isopropanol or rubbing alcohol) is relatively low, around 0.0009 to 0.0010 bar⁻¹ at room temperature. This indicates that isopropyl alcohol is not highly compressible under normal conditions. Its compressibility may vary slightly depending on temperature and pressure. Overall, it behaves as a moderately incompressible liquid compared to gases.
What is the physicals state of silicon at room temperature?
The state of silicon at room temperature is SOLID State.
What is the normal evaporation rate of alcohol at room temperature?
The normal evaporation rate of alcohol at room temperature can vary depending on factors such as the type of alcohol, surface area exposed, and air circulation. Generally, alcohol evaporates faster than water at room temperature due to its lower boiling point.
