Background information of Ethanol: Boiling Point = 78 0C Melting Point = -114 0C Starting Temperature = -120 0C After two minutes, frozen cold ethanol starts to melt. It takes two minutes to melt completely. After eight more minutes, it begins to boil. It boils for six minutes. Heat is added for two more minutes until ethanol reaches 80 0C. Label “melting” where this takes place. Label “vaporization” where this takes place. Label “phase change” where a phase change occurs. Indicate where ethanol is only a SOLID, only a LIQUID, and only a GAS. Of the three phases, label which phase has: weakest IMF, strongest IMF, and medium IMF.arrow_forwardWhat are the various principles of sustainable engineering?arrow_forward
