The boiling of alcohol is a physical change rather than a chemical reaction. When alcohol is heated, it absorbs energy and transitions from a liquid to a gas through the process of vaporization. This change involves the breaking of intermolecular forces but does not alter the chemical structure of the alcohol itself. Therefore, the boiling of alcohol does not result in the formation of new substances.
The boiling point of alcohol varies depending on the specific type of alcohol. For example, the boiling point of ethanol (drinking alcohol) is around 78.37°C (173.07°F) at standard atmospheric pressure.
A given form of liquid alcohol will turn to vapor at its boiling point, which is different for each type of alcohol.
Ethyl alcohol boils at 172.4, methyl alcohol boils at 151.
An alkyl halide is obtained.
The boiling point of alcohol can vary depending on the type of alcohol. For example, the boiling point of ethanol (found in alcoholic beverages) is around 78.37°C (173.07°F). Isopropyl alcohol, often used as rubbing alcohol, has a boiling point of around 82.6°C (180.7°F).

Chemical reaction.
Physical, as it may be reversed through condensation.
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.
A given form of liquid alcohol will turn to vapor at its boiling point, which is different for each type of alcohol.
When iodine is dissolved in alcohol, it forms a mixture of iodine and alcohol, which is physical.
When zinc reacts with alcohol, it forms zinc alkoxide and hydrogen gas. This reaction is a type of redox reaction where zinc is oxidized and alcohol is reduced.
An esterification reaction converts an alcohol into an ester compound. This reaction involves the reaction between an alcohol and a carboxylic acid, usually in the presence of a catalyst such as an acid or base, to form an ester and water as byproducts.
No, boiling is not always a sign of a chemical reaction.
Alcohol is a central nervous system [ CNS ] depressant. It depresses your respiration , heart rate and reaction time.
Ethyl alcohol boils at 172.4, methyl alcohol boils at 151.
An alkyl halide is obtained.
