Any form of liquid alcohol will change to vapor when its temperature reaches the boiling point (different for each type of alcohol).
Alcohol (ethyl alcohol) is a volatile liquid and changes in to vapours at every temperature although its boiling point is 78.5 Celsius.

Liquid alcohol will change to vapor when its temperature reaches the what?

Liquid alcohol will change to vapor when its temperature reaches its boiling temperature. When alcohol reaches its boiling temperature, each molecule of alcohol has enough energy to separate from each other, so each molecule can move freely. The boiling point of liquid alcohol is 351K or 78C


The Change from a liquid to vapor is called?

The change of liquid the vapour state is known as EVAPORATION.It is a physical change ,because no ne substance is formed.It is only a change of state and the liquid can be recovered by Condensation of the vapour.


What is the meaning of boiling in science terms?

Actually boiling is a point where the vapour pressure of any liquid (example: water) becomes equal to the surrounding pressure.


The conversion of a liquid to a vapor when the vapor pressure of the liquid equals the atmospheric pressure?

its boiling


What is vaporization throughout a liquid?

You may be referring to boiling. First a little background.Vaporization is a phase change from the liquid state to the gaseous (or vapor) state. When a liquid vaporizes or evaporates, the more energetic molecules in the liquid leave the surface and enter the vapor phase in the air above the liquid. Because its the more energetic molecules that leave the liquid, and the kinetic energy of a molecules is related to the temperature, vaporization is a cooling process. Another term for this is endothermic, meaning it takes in heat.When a liquid is below its boiling point, not all molecules uniformly have enough energy to enter the vapor state. Some molecules have more energy and go into the vapor, others don't and stay behind in the liquid state. As an average, the liquid exhibits a vapor pressure less than that of the atmosphere. The vapor pressure of a liquid is a function of its temperature.When a liquid reaches its boiling temperature, however, that means the liquid's vapor pressure (as a whole) equals that of the atmosphere. So instead of evaporation just from the surface, now you see bubble of water vapor forming throughout the liquid and rising to the surface.

Is boiling alcohol and then considering the vapor a chemical change?

Yes, boiling alcohol and considering the vapor is a physical change as it does not alter the chemical structure of the alcohol molecules. The alcohol vapor can be condensed back into liquid alcohol without undergoing a chemical change.

Is ethyl alcohol evaporates a physical or chemical?

Evaporation is a physical change- it is still alcohol. The change can be undone by colling the air and condensing the ethyl alcohol vapor back to liquid alcohol.

Liquid alcohol will change to vapor when its temperature reaches the A boiling point B fusing point C freezing point D melting point?

A given form of liquid alcohol will turn to vapor at its boiling point, which is different for each type of alcohol.


What is the change a vapor to a liquid?

The change from a vapor to a liquid is called condensation. This occurs when vapor cools down and loses energy, transforming into liquid droplets.


Is ethyl alcohol evaporates a physical or chemical change?

Evaporation of ethyl alcohol is a physical change. This is because evaporation involves only a change in the physical state of the substance from liquid to gas, without altering its chemical composition.


What is phase change temperature for Isopropyl alcohol from steam to liquid?

Properly speaking, you should say vapor to liquid; "steam" specifically means water vapor. The answer depends on the pressure, but at standard pressure (about 101 kPa) the boiling point (liquid to vapor) of 2-propanol is 82.5 degrees Celsius, and the condensation point (vapor to liquid) is the same.


How does a liquid change into a vapor?
