Pure ethanol freezes at -114 °C (-173.2 degree Fahrenheit). Alcoholic beverages will freeze somewhere between -114 °C and 0 °C depending on the alcohol content.
The kind of alcohol that people can drink is called ethanol and it has a freezing point of -114 degrees Celsius (-114 °C). However, there are many other kinds of alcohol (such as methanol, rubbing alcohol or inspirational, banal, and many others) and each one has a different freezing point. Water freezes at 0 °C and the coldest most home model freezers will go down to -18 °C. That is why Alcoholic Beverages won't freeze in your home freezer. However, most alcoholic beverage are not pure ethanol, but instead a mixture of water and ethanol. The freezing point of the mixture depends on how much of each component is in it. For instance, something with only 1% ethanol will freeze just a little below 0 °C, whereas something with 95% ethanol will freeze pretty close to -114 °C. How much ethanol is in a particular alcoholic beverage is listed on the bottle, either as a percentage or as a "proof" which is just 2 times the percentage (100 proof =B= 50% ethanol).

Ethanol freezing point concentration?
At -114.1°C Ethanol Melts from its frozen state
What temp is freezing?
32 degrees Fahrenheit or 0 degrees celsius
Is evaporation of ethanol a physical change?
Yes, evaporation, melting, and freezing are all physical changes. For it to be a chemical change, the substance would have to become a different substance. Evaporated ethanol is still ethanol, it is just in gas form.
Which type of climate has the greatest amount of rock weathering caused by frost action?
a wet climate in which temp alternates between freezing and not freezing
What temp does snow fall at?
A maximum a 32 degrees Fahrenheit, 0 degrees Celsius. At water's freezing point. Needs humidity plus cold temp
What are the freezing points and the condensation points of ethanol?
The freezing point of ethanol is -114 0C. The boiling point of ethanol is 78,37 0C.
Which has the lower freezing point oxygen or ethanol and why?
ethanol
Ethanol freezing point concentration?
At -114.1°C Ethanol Melts from its frozen state
What is the freezing temp for C degrees?
Freezing temp for Celsius = 0 degrees (32 degrees Fahrenheit)
What is state of ethanol at room temp?
gas
Can you frezze everclear?
Ethanol's freezing point is -114.1
If you mix water and rubbing alcohol will it freeze?
not at the normal freezing temp for water. the mixture will have a lower freezing temp
What happens to the freezing points as the ethanol concentration increased?
The answer depends on the substances in the mixture in which the ethanol concentration increases.
What temp does freezing rain occur?
Freezing rain occurs when the temputer ins below freezing
Do compound have their physical properties?
Yes water has a certain boiling point, a certain freezing point, it is colorless. these are physical prop. another liquid, like pure ethanol, will not freeze at the same temp nor does it boil at the same temp as water but it is colorless just like water. both are compounds
Can you heat frozen ethanol in snowmobiles to thaw ice?
no you should treat your gas with a ethanol/ gasoline mixer it keeps them from separating and freezing
Why doesn't vodka freeze when you put it in the freezer?
Vodka is primarily ethanol (an alcohol). Ethanol has a freezing point of 114oC. Your freezer is not cold enough to bring ethanol to a freezing point, so your bottle of Vodka will never freeze.
