Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

The boiling point of 100% ethanol, or pure ethanol, at standard atmospheric pressure (1 atm or 760 mmHg) is approximately 78.37 degrees Celsius or 173.13 degrees Fahrenheit. This is slightly lower than the boiling point of water, which is 100 degrees Celsius or 212 degrees Fahrenheit at standard atmospheric pressure. However, the boiling point of ethanol can vary slightly depending on the pressure and the purity of the sample.
