What is the ethanol evaporation temperature and how does it affect the distillation process?

The evaporation temperature of ethanol is around 173.1F (78.37C). This temperature is important in the distillation process because it allows ethanol to vaporize and separate from other substances in the mixture. By heating the mixture to the evaporation temperature of ethanol, it can be collected as a separate, more concentrated liquid through condensation, leading to the purification of the ethanol.
