The pH of pure ethanol and all other alcohols is 7, because the pH (power of Hydrogen) number refers to the number of OH- or H+ ions in a solution*, neither of which are present in any alcohols. Pure alcohols therefore, are neither acids nor are they bases.
Most alcohol solutions are (very) weakly acidic.
*Some Acids and Bases are composed without these two ions, but for the purposes of this question, this definition is usable, even though not technically correct.
Rubbing alcohol typically has a pH level around 5.5-6.0, making it slightly acidic.
Most, if not all alcohols are neutral, so they have a pH of 7.
It's neutral because on the pH table it's pH 7.
The pH value of isopropyl alcohol is around 7, which is considered neutral. This means that isopropyl alcohol is neither acidic nor basic.
Alcohols being neutral, pH is 7 ^I'm not sure the actual answer because I'm looking for it myself, but I know for certain it is not 7. a pH of 7 would be totally neutralized, it would just be water
the pH level of isopropyl alcohol is 5.5

It's neutral because on the pH table it's pH 7.
Rubbing alcohol is diluted isopropanol. The formula for isopropanol is (CH3)2CHOH or simply C3H8O.
The pH value of isopropyl alcohol is around 7, which is considered neutral. This means that isopropyl alcohol is neither acidic nor basic.
NO
Alcohol is only slightly acid because it's pH is about 5.5.
Ammonia has a higher pH compared to battery acid, isopropyl alcohol, and water. Ammonia is a base with a pH usually above 11, while battery acid, isopropyl alcohol, and water are either neutral or acidic in nature.
BTB (bromothymol blue) is a pH indicator that turns yellow in acidic conditions (pH < 6) and blue in basic conditions (pH > 7.6). Rubbing alcohol is typically neutral in pH (around 7), so when mixed with BTB, the color would likely remain green due to the pH of rubbing alcohol not significantly affecting the indicator.

Death can occur if alcohol dramatically changes blood pH levels. You see, blood has a very small pH range, and alcohol has acid-forming properties. When you drink too much alcohol, your blood pH levels increase dramatically, while your phosphate levels decrease, leading to death. If you are asking for long-term effects, alcohol could be a problem in the long run if it led to liver cancer and alcoholism.
