Characteristics of Critical Thinking Critical thinking involves the use of a kind of thinking called reasoning, in which we construct and/or evaluate reasons to support beliefs. Critical thinking also involves reflection the examination and evaluation of our own and others thoughts and ideas. Finally critical thinking is practical.
If you measure liquid temperature while distilling, you may have noticed that liquid temp can often be much higher than 174 before a still starts producing. Again, the boiling temperature of a solution that is 100% ethanol is 174 degrees.
Answers:Actually, alcohol has a fairly high boiling temperature for a compound of its mass (46 AMU). Compare propane -42 C / 231 K ethylamine 17 C / 290 K acetaldehyde 26 C / 299 K formic acid 101 C / 374 K The difference is which forces keep the liquid from evaporating. For propane, we have van der Waals forces only.
