Propylene glycol and benzine glycol differ in chemical formula and properties. Ethylene glycol is more toxic than propylene glycol, therefore propylene glycol is used when safer properties are required.

The only alcohol humans may safely drink is ethyl alcohol, also known as ethanol. The writers and editors of the Koran did not know about any other alcohol, so they did not specify, nor did they know about antifreeze. Glycols are generally not imbibable alcohols (although the "OH" or "hydroxyl" group attached to carbon atom is the alcohol group). If you drink methyl alcohol you will be very sick and may die; if you drink ethylene glycol you will be very sick and may die; if you drink isopropyl alcohol you will be very sick and want to die. Ethanol (one hydroxyl group on one of two carbon atoms) and glycerol (three hydroxyl groups on three carbon atoms) and propylene glycol (two hydroxyl groups on --I think-- carbon atoms 1 and 2 of three in the molecule) may be imbibed in greater amounts without serious side effects -- all that means is that they have a lower toxicity. The Koran is not helpful in the matter of organic chemistry.

∙ 12y agoNo. Isopropyl alcohol has the IUPAC name 2-propanol; propylene glycol is 1,2-propanediol.
Essentially, isopropyl alcohol is propane with a hydroxyl group on the middle carbon; propylene glycol is propane with twohydroxyl groups, one on the middle carbon and one on one of the end carbons (it doesn't matter which; they're chemically equivalent).

Propylene Glycol: CH3CH(OH)CH2(OH): 1,2 - propanediol
Propylene Glycol Monomethyl Ether: CH3OCH2CH(OH)CH3: 1-methoxy-2-propanol

Is rubbing alcohol a compound heterogeneous mixture or homogeneous mixture?
Answer 100% isopropyl alcohol is a pure substance and not a mixture. A mixture consists of more than one type of chemical compound mixed with another either uniformly or not uniformly. Over the counter isopropyl alcohol is usually 70% or 90% Isopropyl with this rest made up of water. Since the alcohol and water mix together uniformly and the particles are too small to scatter light, isopropyl alcohol and water is classified as a homogeneous mixture. More specifically you would call this homogeneous mixture of alcohol and water a solution. Other homogeneous mixtures include salt water, pepsi, apple juice and a martini (without the olive).
Could an experiment be done with rubbing alcohol and a liver to show the effects of alcohol on the liver?
No. Isopropyl alcohol does not affect the liver in the same way as ethyl alcohol. Furthermore, the effects on the liver come from the functioning of a living liver (!) dealing with alcohol for long periods of time. The conditions possible in an experiment would have no valid relationship to the actual course of alcoholic liver disease.
What is a List of common liquids and density?
water .... 1 g/mLrubbing alcohol / isopropyl alcohol.... 0.786 g/mLVinegar.... 1.01 g/mLNOTE----- CUBIC CENTIMETERS ARE THE SAME AS MILILITERS
Will ethanol have a greater viscosity than ethylene glycol at the same temperature?
Ethanol is less viscous than ethylene glycol at the same temperature. This is because ethanol only has one -OH group, which is responsible for viscosity.
Is isopropyl same as propanol?
You are absolutely right. Propanol is the same as propan-1-ol.
Is isopropyl alcohol same as propylene glycol?
No. Isopropyl alcohol has the IUPAC name 2-propanol; propylene glycol is 1,2-propanediol.Essentially, isopropyl alcohol is propane with a hydroxyl group on the middle carbon; propylene glycol is propane with twohydroxyl groups, one on the middle carbon and one on one of the end carbons (it doesn't matter which; they're chemically equivalent).
What products contain propylene glycol?
Apparently, some deodorants may contain propylene glycol.www.articleclick.com/...Out...Deodorant-Ingredients/924939The Active Ingredient listed on Miralax is Propylene Glycol 3350. Is this the same?
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 90 percent isopropyl and grain alcohol the same thing?
No. Grain alcohol is ethyl alcohol. Isopropyl alcohol is a different compound and is not safe to drink.
Is14 butanediol the same as propylene glycol as far as ingesting one or the?
No. 1,4-butanediol is significantly more toxic. The MSDS for propylene glycol lists an oral LD50 of 20g/kg in rats, while that for 1,4-butanediol says its LD50 for rats is 1.5g/kg.
What is antifreeze made of?
Gasline antifreeze is usually just isopropyl alcohol. Many drugstores sell 97-percent isopropanol, and if you put six ounces of it in a 20-gallon gas tank it will do the same thing as Heet (or whatever brand you like) for less money.
How safe is Dipropylene Glycol and Propylene Glycol in underarm deodorant?
http://www.tomsofmaine.com/toms/ifs/propylene_glycol.asp Umm. That answer, while it does provide a link that through a bit of searching does address Propylene Glycol, does not at all address Dipropylene Glycol, and answers are required to be in your own words or attributed to a source, simply providing a web address is not following guidelines. Dipropylene Glycol is a By-product of the manufacturing process of Propylene Glycol. It's not the same product. That said, both products in the concentrations used in underarm deodorant (and anti-perspiration products) are not considered an irritant, a carcinogen or toxic. Both Dipropylene Glycol and Propylene Glycol have a long history of safe usage. This said, you must remember this is not to assert that those with a sensitivity to either or both ingredients will find themselves free from the typical reactions: stinging and/or swelling and reddening of the skin.
Is glycol more leathal than jet fuel?
Ethylene glycol is quite toxic because it is metabolized into compounds that clog up and kill the kidneys in mammals. Propylene glycol on the other hand is a common food additive. Not all glycols are the same.
Is Isopropyl Technical Industrial Alcohol the same thing?
Not just isopropanol. Methanol also belongs to industrial alcohol
Will the shape of a drop of water and a drop of isopropyl alcohol on a piece of wax paper be the same or different?
No, the drop of Isopropyl Alcohol was in perfect circle whereas the water drops were circular but with lumpy edges.
What is the smell of isopropyl alcohol 70 percent?
Isopropyl alcohol has a rather strong alcohol smell. If you were to smell regular alcohol and smell 70% Isopropyl alcohol you would have the same smell. However, there is no general way to explain it other than a strong bitter and sometimes sweet smell. It depends on solely your olfactory membranes. Smell's are after all different to everyone.
What is different between rubbing alcohol and isoprolhyt alcohol?
They're the same (isopropyl alcohol), generally speaking. Although there might be another "alcohol" compound that also goes by the name "rubbing alcohol".
