Does alcohol freeze

Answer 1

well alcohol has a lower freezing temperature than water. Therefore it can go below 0 degrees celsius or 32 Fahrenheit and still be liquid. (Well for harder liquor anyways--not beer, it will freeze)

But i think it will still be fine.

Answer 2

It cant freeze. It doesnt matter how long you put it in the fridge it wont freeze because there is a chemical that helps it not freeze like Mercury.

THERE ARE VARIOUS FORMS OF ALCOHOL BUT THE ONE YOU DRINK IS ETHANOL

ALCOHOL CAN FREEZE AND THE TEMPERATURE REQUIRED DEPENDS ON THE ALCOHOLIC VOLUME.

FOR EXAMPLE 34% PROOF WILL FREEZE AT A HIGHER TEMPERATURE THAN A BOTTLE OF ALCOHOL AT 84% PROOF - WHICH INCIDENTALLY IS ABOUT -35F DEGREES I THINK OR IS IT C...CAN'T REMEMBER NOW AS MY BRAIN HAS JUST FROZEN.

THEREFORE IF THE QUESTION WAS " CAN I FREEZE ALCOHOL IN MY DOMESTIC FREEZER? THEN THE ANSWER IS "NO" SIMPLY BECAUSE THE TEMPERATURE CANNOT GO SUFFICIENTLY LOW ENOUGH.

( i add) in my experience. the water freezes an forms shard like crystals and the left behind is a very neat alcohol still liquid.. its like a slush puppy. the above is technically correct but it general separates rather than acting as a single entity with specific tempretures of state. ( if you drink the liquid and then let the ice thaw, its not far off beer strength.. ) WARNING!!! it would not be very hard to make 99% proof like this, which is not far off corrosive/lethal.

Answer 3

Alcohol will freeze, but only at extremely low temperatures. The freezing point of water is 0° C and the freezing point of pure ethanol (grain alcohol) is -114° C. Since Alcoholic Beverages are a mixture of alcohol and water (and sometimes other stuff), their freezing points are going to be somewhere in between.

For example, 80 proof (40% ABV) liquor freezes at -26° C. Most home freezers can't get that low.

Ultra-low temperature laboratory freezers have temperatures between -50° C and -90° C. They cost several thousand dollars.

Answer 4

no it does not freeze due to the chemical content

Answer 5

Yes, at a sufficiently low temperature.
