Interpretation Introduction

Interpretation:

The best method for heating ethanol should be explained.

Concept introduction:

Ethanol is an alcohol molecule that has the chemical formula C2H5OH. Its molecular structure allows it to act as solvent for both polar, hydrophilic and nonpolar, hydrophobic compounds. The value of boiling point of ethanol is low and therefore it is easy to eliminate it from a solution to get the final desired product.
