when water and ice are mixed the temperature of the mixture is 0c but if methyl alcohol and ice ar mixed, a temperature of -10c is readily obtained.explain why the two mixture shows such different behavior?
Water has stronger molecular interactions and a higher freezing point (0°C), resulting in a mixture with ice at 0°C. Methyl alcohol has weaker interactions and a lower freezing point (-97.6°C), allowing it to reach a lower temperature (-10°C) when mixed with ice.
