How can you test a product to see if it contains Isopropyl Alcohol or Ethanol?

It depends how much you think it might have... if it has a lot, it will be flammable, and have a easily identifiable odor (isopropyl alcohol is rubbing alcohol, and ethanol is the alcohol in Alcoholic Beverages).
Small amounts will be harder to test for without doing a more involved chemical test.

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.

What chemicals are in rubbing alcohol?
Usually water and Isopropyl Alcohol and sometimes some aromatic fragrances. Isopropyl alcohol is made up of carbon, hydrogen, and oxygen (C3H7OH), which makes it an organic compound. Isopropyl alcohol comes from wood grain. Rubbing alcohol is typically 70% isopropanol and 30% water. Isopropanol is propane (C3H8) with one of the middle hydrogens knocked off and replaced with a hydroxyl (OH). The formula for isopropanol is C3H8O, or writing the formula to show how the atoms are connected, it would be (CH3)2CH-OH Should be nothing more than isopropyl alcohol and perhaps some water. Some preparations also add some food coloring (green, usually), so it doesn't look like water.

Is ethanol a reactant or a product?
Your question is not right.ethanol is also know as ethyl alcohol. When you take the preparations of ethanol,here it acts as product example ethane reacts with water to give ethanol C2H4+H2O gives C2H5OH in this example ethanol is a product. When we take chemical or physical properties of ethanol it act as reactent in the chemical equation. Example-combustion or burning of ethanol in air gives carbon dioxide and water. C2H5OH+3O2 gives 2CO2+3H20 in the above example ethanol is a reactent.
