Answer:

Because heat causes alcohol to volatilize, instead of burning it.

The combustion is not fulfilled since this is detached from the surface of the banknote that would be the necessary product to burn, in addition to considering that the necessary temperature is not reached

Explanation:

When water and alcohol are joined, they form a solution with high evaporation power, plus alcohol that has a higher degree of volatility than water, this is how these liquids are not retained on the surface of the banknote with heat and they are not it burns.

A gas at 200 K occupies a volume of 350 ml. What temperature is needed to increase the volume
Rudik [331]

Answer: Temperature in constant pressure is 286 K

Explanation: If pressure remains constant, then V/T = constant.

V1 = 350 ml and T1 = 200 K and V2 = 500 ml.  V1/T1 = V2/T2

and T2 = T1· V2 / V1 = 200 K · 500 ml / 300 ml = 285,7 K
