Detailed Solution

The physical properties of ethanol are as follows:-

1. Ethanol is a clear liquid with a burning taste.

2. Its boiling point is 351.5 K which is higher than the corresponding alkane.

3. It is completely miscible with water in all proportions.

It forms carbon dioxide and water on burning in the air - this is the chemical property and not the physical property.
