This is a question that turns out to be surprising complex: is alcohol a depressant a stimulant or what? And the answer is.......yes.
The best answer (insert 30 minute discussion on neurochemistry) is that when blood alcohol level is rising (when the party starts) then alcohol acts as a stimulant. When BAL is falling (at closing time), then alcohol acts as a depressant. In all cases, alcohol impairs
the critical decision making function of the brain, which explains a lot.
What else can I help you with?
How do you separate ethanol from aqueous ethanol?
Ethanol can be separated from aqueous ethanol through a process called distillation. In distillation, the mixture is heated to evaporate the ethanol, which is then condensed back into liquid form. The condensed ethanol can then be collected as a separate product.
What the chemical symbol for ethanol?
This is the formula for Ethanol: C2H6O
Does sand dissolve in Ethanol?
No, sand does not dissolve in ethanol. Sand is mainly composed of silicon dioxide, which is insoluble in ethanol.
Is ethanol aprotic?
No, ethanol is a protic solvent.
Is ethanol a element?
No, ethanol is not an element. Ethanol is a type of alcohol compound composed of carbon, hydrogen, and oxygen atoms. It is a colorless liquid that is commonly used as a solvent or in alcoholic beverages.
Is Vicodin a stimulant?

Which anti-depressant is not FDA approved for pediatric use?
which anti-depresant is not FDA APPROVED for pediatric use
What is in oxycotton?
Oxycontin is used for the treatment of Moderate to severe pain.
What happens when you put frozen ethanol into liquid ethanol?
When you put frozen ethanol into liquid ethanol, the frozen ethanol will begin to melt and mix with the liquid ethanol. Both states of ethanol will reach an equilibrium temperature, and the frozen ethanol will ultimately dissolve into the liquid ethanol to form a homogeneous solution.
Is distilled ethanol similar to pure ethanol?
Yes, distilled ethanol is similar to pure ethanol. Distilled ethanol is produced using distillation to purify the ethanol, resulting in a high level of purity. Pure ethanol refers to ethanol that is free from impurities, and distilled ethanol typically meets this criteria.
What is the ratio of ethanol?
The ratio of ethanol to WHAT!
Does ethanol contain water?
It has the elements of water within its formula. CH3CH2OH / H2O It is a very hygroscopic substance and readily forms 'hydrogen bonds' with water . CH3CH2OH----OH2 (Water drawn like this for clarity of hydrogen bonds. or OH2----OH(CH2)CH3 ( again drawn like this for clarity of hydrogen bonds).
How do you separate ethanol from aqueous ethanol?
Ethanol can be separated from aqueous ethanol through a process called distillation. In distillation, the mixture is heated to evaporate the ethanol, which is then condensed back into liquid form. The condensed ethanol can then be collected as a separate product.
What is te symble of ethanol?
To correct your English Grammar. It is NOT symble' , but 'symbol' Secondly for a chemical substance it is the FORMULA. Symbols are only given to elements in the Periodic Table. So the equation should read ' What is the chemical formula for ethanol?' Answer: CH3CH2OH Sometimes shortened to C2H5OH , but NEVER 'C2H6O' nor 'C2OH6'. NB Carbon's symbol is 'C' Hydrogen's symbol is 'H' Oxygen's symbol is 'O'. Combined together as the substance 'ethanol', they have the Formula of CH3CH2OH .
