Why doesn't liquid freeze at a normal temperature?

Answer 1

Answer
It does but at a lower temperature than water.

No, that is not correct!Alcohol does not freeze.The alcohol in beverages has a high acid content and WILL not freeze.If you want to try to prove me wrong, put a bottle of liqour in the freezer.Leave it there for as long as you want.
It does freeze at -170 degrees f

<>Of course alcohol freezes and so do hydroalcoholic systems such as beverages. Simply put most residential freezers cannot reach the low temperatures required. Alcohols have no effect on pH unless it is in a stong base and is deprotonated.<>

Answer 2

Because the freezing point of alcohols is much lower than that for water.

Each substance has different specific freezing and boiling temperature. Since most foods contain water, that is what freezes.

The freezing point of ethyl alcohol is -117.3oC, or -179,14F. Since vodka is only about 10% alcohol you wouldn't have to go that low to make it freeze (since it's a mixture of water and alcohol), but I'm pretty sure the average freezer would never get there anyway.

Answer 3

A room temperature liquid doesn't freeze at room temperature because there is too much energy for the molecules to assume a solid state. Lowering the temperature lowers the energy available for the molecules to bounce around as a liquid. Lowering it enough makes the liquid freeze into a solid. Raising the temperature increases the energy for the molecules to move and get farther apart so they become a gas.

Answer 4

The freezing point of alcohol is somewhere between -114 and 0 degrees Celsius, depending on the alcohol content. Alcohol has a lower freezing point than water due to alcohol not having hydrogen bonding.

Answer 5

The freezing point of a liquid depends on its chemical composition and structure. At normal temperatures, some liquids have a lower freezing point than others due to their specific molecular properties. Thus, some liquids will remain in liquid form at room temperature because their freezing point is below that temperature.

Answer 6

no bottle would break unless the glass couldn't handel the temp any more or it was warmed up too fast

Answer 7

Because at boiling point the supplied heat is totally utilized for change of state.(Latent heat of vaporization)

Answer 8

because God hates you.
