Correct Answer: its boiling point


Solution : The correct answer is its boiling point.

Because of its low boiling point of 78°C, distilling alcohol yields a much stronger solution than wine or beer. Because they are less polar than water, drinking alcohol (ethanol), and many other simple alcohols are more volatile. Alcohol vaporizes more quickly because it has a higher vapour pressure and a lower boiling point than water.
