No, they are not the same, isopropyl alchohol is a pure chemical substance or molecule, C3H7OH, sometimes otherwise known as Isopropyl Alchohol, Rubbing Alchohol, Hydroxypropane, etc, citing, http://chemicalland21.com/petrochemical/ISOPROPANOL.htm The above page also provides boiling points and melting points etc. Methylated Spirits or, (in the U.S.A Denatured alcohol) are a mixture of several different substances, usually complying to a generally accepted formula of, citing, http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Denatured_alcohol The above page also provides the various formula % information of the various chemicals used to 'denature' or 'methylate' the ethanol. Ethanol is the consumable vaiety of alchohol. Methanol is poisonous. Interestingly, it appears to be the case that for a sever case of methanol (moonshine) poisoning, the immediate first aid response should be copius amounts of ethanol, drinking (legal) alchohol, apparently the ethanol will block the effects of the methanol. Under the heading, Formulations http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Denatured_alcohol You will find the standard formula for ingredients of 'Methylated Spirits', 'Denatured Alchohol' or 'Metho'. vk3kuf
What else can I help you with?
Does Methylated spirit leave a residue?
It shouldn't, if it really is methylated spirit (a mixture of methanol and ethanol). However, some people... unfortunately very likely the same ones who tend to call it "methylated spirit" instead of "denatured alcohol", or even better give an actual formula... use the term generically for any denatured alcohol, including those that do leave a residue.
Is isopropyl alcohol the same as rubbing alcohol?
Yes, isopropyl alcohol is the same as rubbing alcohol.
Are rubbing alcohol and isopropyl the same thing?
Yes, rubbing alcohol and isopropyl alcohol are the same thing. Rubbing alcohol is a common name for isopropyl alcohol, which is a type of alcohol used for disinfecting and cleaning.
Is acetone the same as rubbing alcohol?
No, acetone is not the same as rubbing alcohol. Acetone is a type of solvent, while rubbing alcohol is a mixture of isopropyl alcohol and water used as a disinfectant.
Are rubbing alcohol and isopropyl alcohol the same thing?
Yes, rubbing alcohol and isopropyl alcohol are the same thing. Rubbing alcohol is a common name for isopropyl alcohol, which is a type of alcohol often used as a disinfectant or solvent.

What is the most suitable investigation question to investigate evaporation using distilled water ethanol acetone and methylated spirit?
The first investigation question is, why are you comparing the evaporation rates of ethanol and methylated spirit? One of the most important things to know about methylated spirit is it's made so it can't be demethylated. This for several reasons, largely because alcohol beverage taxes are not levied on methylated spirit as they are on drinkable ethanol; if you could demethylate spirit then people would never buy booze, they'd just buy methylated spirit and fix it. One of their safeguards is to use an agent that evaporates at the same rate as ethanol (methanol, usually, which is where the name used in England comes from). This keeps people from distilling it.
Is isopropyl alcohol the same as denatured alcohol?
Isopropyl alcohol and rubbing alcohol are not the same thing. For most uses, yes you can. This is because: • Rubbing alcohol may contain either isopropyl alcohol or ethanol. • Rubbing alcohol is a mixture of compounds (type of denatured alcohol) whereas isopropyl alcohol is not.
Is rubbing alcohol the same as acetone?
No, rubbing alcohol and acetone are not the same. Rubbing alcohol is typically isopropyl alcohol, while acetone is a different chemical compound. Both are commonly used as solvents, but they have different properties and uses.
