Which of the following statements are CORRECT? I. Ethanol is a good solvent for organic compounds. II. Boiling and melting points of ethanol are low with respect to water. III. Ethanol is used as tincture iodine. Correct Answer All I, II and III

All I, II, and III

  • Ethanol is commonly known as Ethyl Alcohol.
  • Its chemical formula is C2H5OH
  • Ethanol is a very good solvent. Many compounds which are insoluble in water are soluble in Ethyl Alcohol.
  • It is used in many medicines, such as tincture iodine, cough syrups, etc.
  • The melting point of Ethanol is – 114° C and boiling point is 78.37° C, which is very low with respect to water.

In an accident a container containing ethanol(s.g 0.789) falls down in a room of dimension 1*1*2(all in m). Ethanol forms a layer of 2mm. Ethanol vaporizes and diffuses through a stagnant film of air of thickness 2.5mm. What will be the time required for the water layer to disappear completely. The diffusivity of ethanol in air is 2.567*10-5 m2/s. the total pressure is 1.013 bar and the pressure of ethanol in bulk air is 0.02244 bar and at the ethanol-air interface is 0.02718bar. The temperature is 25.2°C.
