No. See the Related Questions links for the difference.
They are essentially the same molecule, only different nomenclature.
That is correct. Ethanol is the common name and ethyl alcohol is the systematic name.
No. Not at all. Different chemical structures.
They are both Biomolecules

You use concentrated phosphoric or sulfuric acid at high temperatures in order to dehydrate it and eliminate the OH group. Therefore, conc. H3PO4 or conc. H2SO4 at 300 ˚C.
Methanol is known as methyl alcohol. Methanol's scientific name is where the "alcohol" variant name has come from. Essentially, alcohol and methanol is the same thing, however there are different types of alcohol.
BThey all have at least one hydroxyl (-OH) group per molecule. I could take five beakers out, set them on the bench, fill them with ethanol, propylene glycol, benzyl alcohol, sorbitol and polyester polyol...they don't look the same, smell, taste or anything else the same. One is a solid! But they're all alcohols. Right now my favorite alcohol is polyvinyl alcohol...a plastic that dissolves in water. They make sewing thread out of it...
Not MEK (methyl ethyl ketone), MEK peroxide (methyl ethyl ketone peroxide, which is trimeric).
Ethanol, also called ethyl alcohol, grain alcohol, or drinking alcohol, is a volatile, flammable, colorless liquid. It is best known as the type of alcohol found in alcoholic beverages and in thermometers. In common usage, it is often referred to simply as alcohol. Important physical and chemical properties are listed.Physical PropertiesEthanol or ethyl alcohol is a colourless liquid with a characteristic smell called alcoholic smell.It boils at 351 K (78°C).It is neutral towards litmus.Ethanol is highly soluble or miscible with water. The two can mix with any proportion. A solution containing 95% alcohol and 5% water is called rectified spirit. Completely pure or 100% alcohol is called absolute alcohol.Chemical PropertiesCombustion: Ethanol is highly volatile and combustible liquid. When a flame is bought in its contacts, it immediately catches fire and burns with a blue flame. the products of combustion of ethanol are carbon dioxide and water. C2H5OH(l) + 3O2(g) -----> 2CO2(g) + 3H2O.Reaction with sodium metal: Ethanol reacts with sodium metal to form sodium ethoxide. Hydrogen gas is also evolved in the reaction It is accompanied by brisk effervescence. 2C2H5OH(l) + 2Na(s) -----> 2C2H5OHNa(l) + H2(g). Hydrogen gas is always evolved when an alcohol is reacted with a dry piece of sodium metal. Potassium metal also reacts in the same manner.
Yes. Ethanol, also called ethyl alcohol, pure alcohol, grain alcohol, or drinking alcohol,
In common terminology the term alcohol refers to ethanol. However, in chemistry ethanol is only one of many kinds of alcohol. Only ethanol (a.k.a. ethyl alcohol) is used in beverages.
Nothing. 2 names - same meaning
As long as the hand sanitizer uses Ethyl Alcohol (Ethanol), not Isopropyl alcohol, then yes. Most do, like Purell, 62% Ethanol.
They are the same thing. now shut up and enjoy it!
No. The chemical structure of ethyl alcohol gas is the same as ethyl alcohol liquid.
No. Grain alcohol is ethyl alcohol. Isopropyl alcohol is a different compound and is not safe to drink.
There is no difference also ethanol is a kind of alcohol but alcohol is the same thing so ethanol is used in drugs ( drugs = medicine )
You can not put E85 Ethanol fuel into a car not designed for itas the Ethanol fuel (ethyl alcohol), {the same type of alcohol found in alcoholic beverages} will destroy the fuel system ( "O" rings , lines, ect...)
You use concentrated phosphoric or sulfuric acid at high temperatures in order to dehydrate it and eliminate the OH group. Therefore, conc. H3PO4 or conc. H2SO4 at 300 ˚C.
Methanol, also known as methyl alcohol, is madeof molecules containing one methyl group, with a chemical structure of CH3-OH. Methanol is highly toxic if inhaled, drunk, or absorbed through the skin and can cause blindness. Ethyl alcohol is the same as ethanol or grain alcohol. I has two methyl groups and looks like CH3-CH3-OH. This is the type of alcohol found in the alcoholic beverages people consume. Both compounds are organic and are good solvents and fixatives.
Due to an effect called the aziotropic effect. Some of the water remains bound to the ethanol raising the BP and getting dragged over with it. The same thing happens with sugars from a wash. Further to this, ethanol is hygroscopic so it will absorb water from the atmosphere when exposed. The best you can do is between 90 - 98% ethanol.
