How do you mix 99.5 percent isopropyl alcohol with distilled water to be sure that's save for LCD screen cleaning?
Isopropyl alcohol is safe to use to clean your LCD screen or laptop monitor. The alcohol should be mixed with distilled water in order to use it for cleaning your screen.
What is the function in the following reagents used in the extraction and precipitation of DNA?
to extract the DNA from the solution, isopropyl alcohol is mixed with the DNA solution to precipitate the same.
What new substance is formed when water is mixed with isopropyl alcohol?
You get very cold isopropyl alcohol, about -110 F. Some people call this poor man's liquid nitrogen as it can be used to freeze items just like liquid nitrogen. WARNING: Do not use rubbing alcohol as it contains a large amount of water. Use extreme care when handling super cooled alcohol as it will stick to your skin like wax instead of beading off like liquid nitrogen. Please use appropriate safety gear when performing any science experiment.
How do you distill hand sanitizer in order to make edible alcohol?
Wikipedia has an article on Alcohol Rubs here: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hand_sanitizer They typically use ethanol (standard drinking alcohol mixed with something to render it undrinkable) or isopropanol ("rubbing alcohol" which is poisonous — not in a good way — if swallowed). A concentration of 60-70 percent is needed. Standard rubbing alcohol should do the trick, as would a 120+ proof liquor, although both will dry out your skin. You could mix in a small amount of glycerine for moisturizing, and possibly a thickener, but you risk diluting the alcohol to where the mixture is no longer effective. A mixture of nine parts 70% rubbing alcohol to one part glycerine should give you a good (but runny) substitute at a lower price.
What are the 2 liquids in a lava lamp?
The fluids used in lava lamps vary from lamp to lamp, with many manufacturers closely guarding the secret of the materials they use. But certain types of fluids are always used -- one is generally water-based, and the other is generally oil-based. The water-based fluid might simply be water mixed with a water-soluble solvent, such as isopropyl alcohol. The oil-based fluid has to be water-soluble, heavier than the other liquid, more viscous than the other liquid, non-flammable, non-poisonous, non-chlorinated, not emulsifiable in water, and must have a greater coefficient of expansion in water so it rises when heated. An examples of fluids used is water and isopropyl alcohol, mixed with mineral oil... however, the second fluid might (instead of mineral oil) be benzyl alcohol, cinnamyl alcohol, diethyl phthalate, or ethyl salicylate. Various colorants are also common. The first (water-based) liquid might also include sodium chloride, turpentine, and antifreeze ingredients.
Would pure isopropyl alcohol evaporate faster then isopropyl alcohol mixed with water?
yes
When 39.5 g of isopropyl alcohol is added to 50 g of water what is the mass in grams of the resulting mixture?
89.5 g. Matter is not destroyed or created when liquids are mixed or even when they react together. Isopropyl alcohol does not react with water, it just mixes.

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).
Is denatured alcohol an alcohol?
It is a mixture of two alcohols: ethanol and methanol. <><><> The term Denatured refers to ethyl alcohol that has another substance mixed in that prevents it from being drunk. It may be methanol, unleaded gasoline, or amyl acetate. Denatured alcohol is poisonous to drink, and is used for industrial processes,
Where can I purchase Graves grain alcohol in Maine?
You cannot. Though it's produced in Maine, 190-proof beverages are illegal to sell. You CAN get denatured alcohol - about the same strength, but with about 4% methanol mixed in so as to render it poisonous.

Can isopropyl alcohol be used in gas tanks?
I wouldn't recommend it. I have however heard of people using alcohol to help clear up bad gasoline. If you get gas from a sleezy gas station and they are mixing a little water with their gas, or you somehow get water in your gas tank from condensation, or a dirty trick, you can mix a small amount with a full tank to burn the water out. Gas and water don't mix. However, alcohol and water mix (isopropyl alcohol is just pure alcohol mixed with water), and alcohol and gas mix. It works like a buffer. Too much alcohol can burn valves, and set off your O2 sensor. If you have something in the tank that shouldn't be there, the best thing to do is remove the tank, have it cleaned and flush the fuel lines going to the engine. Isopropyl alcohol by itself would seriously mess up the internals of an engine. To sum things up, i wouldn't do it to a car i liked.
