At -200'C alcohol does not evaporate but exists as a solid. At -20'C the partial pressure of alcohol is very very low At 0'C the partial pressure of alcohol is weakly detectable At 10'C the evaporation of alcohol proceeds naturally. At 20'C alcohol evaporates quickly At 100'C alcohol exists as a gas.
