No. At least, not from anything where the separation is non-trivial. You could separate it from liquid Mercury that way.

Why methyl spirit evaporates at room temperature?

Methylated spirit is ethanol as is volatile at room temperature


Why does methylated spirit evaporate faster than water?

Methylated spirit, primarily composed of ethanol and methanol, has a lower boiling point and higher vapor pressure than water. This means that its molecules require less energy to escape into the air, allowing it to evaporate more quickly. Additionally, the weaker hydrogen bonding in methylated spirit compared to water facilitates faster evaporation. Consequently, these physical properties result in a quicker evaporation rate for methylated spirit.


What is the most suitable investigation question to investigate evaporation using distilled water ethanol acetone and methylated spirit?

The first investigation question is, why are you comparing the evaporation rates of ethanol and methylated spirit? One of the most important things to know about methylated spirit is it's made so it can't be demethylated. This for several reasons, largely because alcohol beverage taxes are not levied on methylated spirit as they are on drinkable ethanol; if you could demethylate spirit then people would never buy booze, they'd just buy methylated spirit and fix it. One of their safeguards is to use an agent that evaporates at the same rate as ethanol (methanol, usually, which is where the name used in England comes from). This keeps people from distilling it.


What type of mixtures are separated using the separating funnel method?

Using the separating funnel method can be separated mixtures of liquids with different densities.


What if i want to use just methanol and ethanol to make a methylated spirit?

Methylated spirits, or denatured alcohol, typically contain ethanol mixed with a denaturant to make it undrinkable. If you only use methanol and ethanol, you would not be producing a standard methylated spirit, as methanol is toxic and not commonly used for denaturing ethanol in consumer products. Additionally, the mixture would still be dangerous for consumption. For safety and legal reasons, it’s best to use commercially available methylated spirits that follow regulatory guidelines.

How much thermal energy does 10cm3 of methylated spirit release when burning?

The thermal energy released when burning 10 cm3 of methylated spirit can vary depending on factors such as the efficiency of combustion and the temperature at which it burns. In general, the calorific value of methylated spirit is around 29.7 kJ per gram. Therefore, you would need to know the mass of 10 cm3 of methylated spirit to accurately calculate the thermal energy released.
