Boiling points of alcohol and mercury??
who can tell me the boiling point of alcohol and mercury??

The boiling point of alcohol varies depending on the type of alcohol. For example, the boiling point of ethanol (commonly found in alcoholic beverages) is 78.37°C or 173.07°F, while the boiling point of methanol (a toxic form of alcohol) is significantly lower at 64.7°C or 148.46°F.
The boiling point of mercury is 356.7°C or 674.06°F. This is much higher than the boiling point of alcohol, making it difficult to boil both substances together.
No, alcohol and mercury cannot be boiled together because the boiling point of mercury is much higher than that of alcohol. This means that the alcohol would evaporate before the mercury reaches its boiling point, making it impossible to boil them together.
Alcohol has a lower boiling point than mercury because of the difference in their molecular structures. Alcohol molecules are smaller and lighter, allowing them to move and escape from the liquid state at a lower temperature compared to larger and heavier mercury molecules.
Atmospheric pressure can affect the boiling point of alcohol and mercury. Higher atmospheric pressure can increase the boiling point of both substances, while lower atmospheric pressure can decrease it. However, the effect of atmospheric pressure on the boiling point is relatively small and does not change the fact that mercury has a much higher boiling point than alcohol.
