The boiling point of ethanol

is 78.4 degrees celcius at 1.0 atm. (760mmHg) pressure

There is not one boiling temperature, because it depends on the overlaid gas pressure (normally air, but that is not important).

The given boiling POINT is a temperature at a certain pressure, this is just one POINT of the (so called) p,T-line of all pressures and temperatures possible for boiling ethanol

What are the four liquids that can evaporate easily?

Water, ethanol, acetone, and gasoline are examples of liquids that evaporate easily due to their low boiling points.


Why does a few drops of ethanol poured on your arm feel very cold?

Ethanol is an alcohol-based liquid. Alcohols evaporate when warmed - the heat from your arm causes the ethanol to evaporate - taking the heat from your arm as it does, which makes your skin feel cold.


How do you separate ethanol from aqueous ethanol?

Ethanol can be separated from aqueous ethanol through a process called distillation. In distillation, the mixture is heated to evaporate the ethanol, which is then condensed back into liquid form. The condensed ethanol can then be collected as a separate product.


Does methylated spirit evaporate faster than water?

Yes, methylated spirit (ethanol) evaporates faster than water because it has a lower boiling point. Ethanol boils at 78.37°C, while water boils at 100°C. This means ethanol molecules have higher kinetic energy and can escape into the air more easily.


Why does water evaporates the fastest?

The question is based on a lack of understanding of the process of evaporation. Water does not evaporate the fastest - ethanol, for example, will evaporate faster.


Why is cold ethanol used instead of room termperature ethanol?

Cold ethanol is most likely used instead of room temperature ethanol in order to prevent the ethanol from evaporating. When the temperature of something decreases the molecules speed decreases as well making it less likely to evaporate.


Does the ethanol evaporate faster than a water?

yes it evaporates faster than water.


Can ethanol be separated from sand and water?

Yes, ethanol can be separated from sand and water using distillation. Ethanol has a lower boiling point than water, so by heating the mixture, the ethanol will evaporate first and can be collected, leaving the sand and water behind.


Why does surgical spirit evaporate faster than water?

The ethanol enthalpy of vaporization is lower compared to water.


If you put ethanol and water together in a beaker which would evaporate first?

Ethanol would because it has a boiling point of 78.4 C where as water has one at 100 C.Through this process breweries and wineries can distill their liquors and find the percent off ethanol (alcohol) by volume.


Unlike other kinds of liquids volatile liguids?

Volatile liquids have a high vapor pressure and evaporate easily at room temperature. This is due to their low boiling points, which causes them to quickly turn into vapor. Examples of volatile liquids include ethanol and gasoline.


Is strontium bromide soluble in ethanol?

Yes, strontium bromide is soluble in ethanol. Ethanol is a polar solvent, and strontium bromide is an ionic compound, so it dissolves easily in polar solvents like ethanol.
