Question
Test tubes containing ethanol have been placed in a water bath.The water bath has only just been switched on. The temperature of the water was recorded as it was heating up.Ethanol has a melting point of -114 °C and a boiling point of 78 °C.Identify the state of matter ethanol will be after 90 seconds.LiquidSolidGas
Solution
The state of matter of ethanol after 90 seconds will depend on the temperature of the water bath. However, since the water bath has just been switched on, it is unlikely that it would have reached ethanol's boiling point of 78°C within 90 seconds. Therefore, the ethanol in the test tubes is likely to still be in a liquid state.

Water boils at 100°C while ethanol boils at 78°C.When distilling a mixture of ethanol and water, which liquid would collect in the condenser first? Explain your answer.
The temperature of ethanol in degrees Celsius is read from input into integer variable val. If val is:< -113 degrees Celsius, output "The ethanol is now a solid."≥ -113 degrees Celsius and < 79 degrees Celsius, output "The ethanol is now a liquid."Otherwise, output "The ethanol is now a gas." End each output with a newline.
