Heating curve of ethanol

An example figure from the Heating and Cooling Curve generator.

Heating curve of ethanol from −140 °C to 100 °C, with plateaus at its melting point, −114.1 °C, and boiling point, 78.3 °C, written by the temperature axis — The temperature of ethanol heated steadily from −140 °C to 100 °C, against time. It melts at −114.1 °C and boils at 78.3 °C, each written by the temperature axis above the dashed line from its plateau. The sloped segments are labeled with their states and the plateaus with the changes.
