it would boil away, unless you allow a direct flame to get to the gas as it evaporates( then it would burst into flames) causing damage to your stove hood and or cabinets. You may even set the whole house on fire so be very careful.
These kinds of projects should be done in a lab under controlled circumstances, not in your home.

If the oven temp is hotter than the alcohol's flash point it will catch on fire. If Its lower than alcohol is boil away. It really wont explode unless the alcohol is in a closed container. If it catches on fire it could open the oven door if the door is easily opened. If its a small amount i dont see it causing any damage.

It will have a good chance of blowing up the oven. Don't do it at home.

Make sure it doesn't make contact with the flame itself, otherwise I think you'd be fine, just boil it with caution.

i think if u heat it long enough and at a high enough temperature, it should turn into an acid. i could be wrong however.
