Ethyl alcohol also known as ethanol is the one you use in your drinks. This brother is good. If you drink methyl alcohol also called methanol then you die. That's why this brother is bad.

Which substance is added for the denaturation of ethyl alcohol unfit for drinking?
Many different denaturing methods have been used. The most common is adding methanol (methyl/wood alcohol). Other common additives are acetone, methyl ethyl ketone and methyl isobutyl keytone.
Why is that another solvent can be used instead of ethanol?
Depends on what you are trying to dissolve. Some other industrial solvents include isopropyl alcohol, methanol, toluene, acetone and methyl ethyl ketone.
What are the ingridients of alcohol?
Just that, ethyl alcohol AKA ethanol... It's the alcohol we drink.
Does water and ethyl alcohol mix together or create and interface?
Water and ethyl alcohol are both polar solvents, meaning they have similar intermolecular forces and are able to mix together. When they are mixed, they form a homogeneous solution rather than creating an interface between the two liquids. This is because the polar nature of water and ethyl alcohol allows them to interact and dissolve into each other.
What are ethyl and methyl alcohol how are they made?
Methyl alcohol, also called methanol, has molecular formula CH3OH. It is poisonous and can cause blindness.Ethyl alcohol, or ethanol, has formula C2H5OH, and is the alcohol found in alcoholic beverages. It can also be used as an additive to or replacementfor gasoline. Ethanol is produced by fermentation, most often of corn or sugar for industrial purposes, but using grapes and other fruits and vegetables or grain (Beer, Vodka, whiskey, brandy, Bourbon...) as well for drinks.See the Web Links to the left for more information.

Why ethyl alcohol is a liquid while ethyl chloride is a gas?
Ethyl alcohol is a liquid because strong hydrogen bonding in it brings the molecules closer together while methyl chloride does not form hydrogen bonding,weaker forces exist between molecules of methyl and chloride due to which they lie at distance from each other till gas form.
Reaction between methyl ethyl ketone and water?
They don't react with each other.

Does ethyl alcohol kill dust mites?
Many different types of alcohol are poisonous to insects. Ethyl alcohol is commonly used to exterminate dust mites and other insects.
What is the chemical name for wood alcohol?
'Alcohol' , chemically, is a collective name for a list of substances with the '-OH' functional group. The following are some alcohols.;- Methanol, Ethanol, Propanol Butanol Pentanol Hexanol et. seq. There are many more alcohols. I suspect that you are thinking of the 'alcohol' that is in beers, wines and spirits.. The chemical formula for ethanol is 'CH3CH2OH'. That alcohol is ethanol, archaically, 'ethyl alcohol'. The other alcohols listed above cannot be consumed by humans.
Other names for rubbing alcohol?
Rubbing alcohol is alternately called Methyl Alcohol, Wood alcohol and Isopropyl Alcohol. Note that it is toxic.

Just that, ethyl alcohol AKA ethanol... It's the alcohol we drink.
What is the state of rubbing alcohol at room temperature?
By "alcohol," I am assuming that you are asking about ethyl alcohol; the alcohol present in intoxicating liquors and alcoholic beverages.Ethyl alcohol is a clear, colorless, liquid at room temperature. Its boiling point is 173.1 °F (78.4 °C) and its melting point is -173 °F (-114 °C).The two next most common alcohols are isopropyl alcohol and methyl alcohol. Both of these alcohols are more toxic than ethyl alcohol, although methyl alcohol is extremely toxic. In actuality, methyl alcohol itself is not especially toxic, however it is rapidly converted into formaldehyde then into formic acid by the liver, and these compounds are what cause permanent blindness or death, depending on the dose.The toxicity of methanol and of other alcohols is why it is so important to never consume any "alcohol" except that which is commercially produced or beers and wines made by trustworthy brewers and winemakers. Essentially all commercial liquors, beers, and wines contain a very small and harmless amount of methyl alcohol. It is also highly unlikely that illegal liquor will naturally contain harmful amounts of methyl alcohol. The danger with consuming "moonshine" or "white lightning" and cheap wines of dubious origin is that the consumer has no idea if the producers have added methanol or some other alcohol or ethylene glycol (in radiator fluid) to the illegal liquors or wines, respectively, unless it is tested first. There aren't a whole lot of back-woods illegal liquor makers who hold a Ph.D. in chemistry or biology; some of them think alcohol always means ethyl alcohol.
