It's not technically speaking, a vapour. But it is a volatile liquid (It readily evaporates). Boiling point is to do with the interactions between the molecules in a liquid. The stronger the interaction, the more energy is required to pull them apart. So the energy (heat) supplied at it's boiling boiling point is sufficient to break the interactions in ethanol. The boiling point of ethanol is 78.1 °C.

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.


If ethyl alcohol boils at 79 degrees Celsius a physical or chemical change?

Boiling of ethyl alcohol at 79 degrees Celsius is a physical change. It is a reversible process where the alcohol changes from liquid to vapor state without undergoing a chemical reaction.


Is benzene or ethyl ether highly volatile?

Ethyl ether is more volatile than benzene. Ethyl ether has a lower boiling point and vapor pressure, making it easier for it to evaporate rapidly. Benzene is less volatile compared to ethyl ether due to its higher boiling point and lower vapor pressure.
