Question

How will you compare alcohol and water in terms of their kinetic energy of the particles? what will happen if both of them are kept under room temperature and under normal atmospheric conditions i.e 289 k and 1 atmosphere​

Answer 1

Alcohol vs. water

Explanation:

We can compare alcohol and water in terms of their kinetic energy of the particles as follows:

The kinetic energy between the molecules of water is higher than that of alcohol. This can be proven by the fact that the boiling temperature of alcohol is lower than that of water. When kept in room temperature (289 K) and under 1 atmosphere pressure, both the liquids will remain at the liquid state.

Answer 2

Answer:

Alcohol is volatile liquid and it evaporates even at room temperature because it has higher kinetic energy as compared to water. at room temp water will not evaporate whereas alcohol will get evaporated
