Is rubbing alcohol covalent or ionic?
Most Ionically bonded substances are solid, this makes me assume that Rubbing alcohol has covalent bonds.
Is rubbing alcohol a hydrocarbon?
No it is not due to having oxygen in it and the OH group. So ethanol is not a hydrocarbon.
What makes up isopropyl alcohol?
Isopropyl alcohol is a compound consisting of a three carbon chain. The two carbons at the end are bonded to three hydrogens each. The middle carbon is bonded to a hydrogen and an OH group. It is often diluted in water.
What elements does alcohol contain?
hydrogen, carbon, oxygen
Does rubbing alcohol have carbon dioxide in it?
Rubbing alcohol or isopropanol has a polar character due to its polar hydroxyl group. Thus it is able to dissolve carbon dioxide in the form of carboxylic acid. Due to the low solubility of carbon CO2 and the low concentration of it in in the atmosphere the amount of dissolved CO2 is trace and negligible in most circumstances.
Is iso-propyl alcohol a ionic or covalent compound?
All the bonds in isopropyl alcohol are covalent.
Is isopropryl solution an ionic compound?
Isopropyl solution (aka, rubbing alcohol) is not an ionic solution. Isopropanol is a covalent molecule made of non-metals: carbon, oxygen, and hydrogen (C3H8O).
How is rubbing alcohol and vinegar different?
Rubbing alcohol has many uses one of these is for muscle aches and hot or feverish skin. Isopropyl one of alcohol constituents has gasoline elements which are harmful to humans if used or consumed.
Is rubbing alchohol a element?
no, it's a compound. An element is the smallest unit of a substance in which every piece is the same. Alcohol is not an element because it is made up of different elements: carbon, hydrogen, and oxygen.
What elements are in Ethyl Alcohol?
Carbon, Hydrogen and Oxygen. Ethyl Alcohol is the old name for 'Ethanol'. The formula is 'CH3CH2OH'. C = carbon H = hydrogen O = oxygen
Is an organic compound necessarily living?
No. An organic compound is merely a compound that contains carbon and hydrogen bonded together. Common household organic compound include acetic acid (vinegar), isopropyl alcohol (rubbing alcohol), and acetone.
How many atoms of carbon are in rubbing alcohol?
You need a certain amount of rubbing alcohol in order to set up a problem. Like if you had 72.5 grams of C3H8O (rub alc) then you would have 7.27 x 10^23 atoms. 1. Find molecular mass of C3H8O = 60.094g 2. Take the amount of C3H8O given (72.5g) and using NA (advogadros number)-however its spelled- and multiply those numbers. 3. Then taking that number and divide it by the molecular mass of C3H8O (60.094g). 4. You should get an answer like this= 7.27 x 10^23 amu
