Distillation

Explanation:

A solution of water and ethanol are miscible. Hence, they can only be separated by a process known as distillation. Distillation is the process in which two or more constituents in a mixture are separated based on there difference in boiling points. The mixture is subjected to high heat and the one with the least boiling point distills/evaporates out first followed by the next least boiling point.

From the explanation above, it can be deduced that ethanol (with boiling point of 78°) will be distilled out while water remains in the boiling tube or container.

No because some physical changes produce color changes.  

Explanation:-

A physical reaction is defined as the reaction in which a change in shape, size takes place. No new substance gets formed in these reactions.

Example: Addition of food colors to water is a physical process and lead o color change

A chemical reaction is defined as the reaction in which a change in chemical composition takes place. A new substance is formed in these reactions.

Example: Oxidation of magnesium leads to formation of white magnesium oxide and is a chemical change.

2Mg+O_2\rightarrow 2MgO
