Cetyl alcohol is minimally soluble in water, with a solubility of around 0.005 g/100 mL at room temperature. It is a fatty alcohol and its solubility in water is limited due to its hydrophobic nature.
No, it is a fatty alcohol.
Cetyl alcohol is considered to be an organic compound. It is a fatty alcohol derived from natural sources such as coconut or palm oil.
The heat of combustion of cetyl alcohol is approximately 41.7 kJ/g. This value represents the amount of heat released when one gram of cetyl alcohol is completely burned in oxygen.
Cetearyl alcohol is actually a mixture of both stearyl alcohol and cetyl alcohol (refer to links below for structures). Both of these compounds would be considered "fatty alcohols" due to their long carbon chains. Fatty alcohols are in the aliphatic hydrocarbon family. To draw the structure of "cetearyl alcohol" you would actually have to draw the structure of cetyl alcohol and the structure of stearyl alcohol.
No, the SCRAM bracelet is designed to detect alcohol consumption by measuring a person's perspiration for ethanol molecules. It does not detect the presence of cetyl alcohol or any other substances besides alcohol.
Burt's Bees has a hand creme that does not list cetyl alcohol in its list of ingredients--I can't remember the exact name of it, but it has lots of purple on the tube. Also, Yardley of London has a lavander body lotion with no cetyl alcohol or any other alcohol listed (at least not one with alcohol in its name). Both of these items, I've for at least a year, so don't know if the current versions of these items have cetyl alcohol or not. It'll give you a starting point...
The chemical formula of alcohol is C2H5OH.
The chemical formula of alcohol is C2H5OH.
The chemical formula for ethyl alcohol is C2H5OH.
Hair detanglers typically contain conditioning agents such as cetyl alcohol, stearyl alcohol, glycerin, and various silicone derivatives. There is no single chemical formula for hair detangler as it is a mixture of multiple compounds that help smooth and detangle hair.
Formula: R-OH
