What is the alcohol in antifreeze called?
The most basic / simplest is Methanol Useful alternative #1 is Ethylene Glycol Useful alternative #2 is Propylene Glycol There are also non-glycol, "Organic Acid Technology" (OAT) antifreezes used in some automotive applications.
Is Ethylene glycol secondary alcohol?
NO! Ethylene glycol is deadly poisonous even in relatively small amounts. Ethylene glycol is not ethyl alcohol, which is the only alcohol humans (or animals) can safely drink.
Fats are made of an alcohol called what?
Glycerol
Does Glycerol have fatty acids?
No, it's an alcohol.
What temperature does everclear boil?
73 degrees centigrade Actually, it depends on the type of alcohol Isopropanol (typical rubbing alcohol): 82.5 degrees celsius Ethanol (drinking alcohol):78.4 degrees celsius Then there are many, many others. The better known ones are Methanol, Butanol, Amyl alcohol, Ethylene glycol, Propylene Glycol, Glycerol, Sorbitol, Menthol
Do sugar alcohols contain alcohol?
Sugar alcohols do not contain ethanol (the stuff you drink). The simplest sugar alcohol, ethylene glycol, is the sweet but notoriously toxic chemical used in antifreeze. The higher sugar alcohols are for the most part nontoxic.
Why glycerol is more viscous then ethyl alcohol?
Glycerol (Glycerin) contains three 'OH' groups at adjacent carbon atoms so the chances of ' hydrogen bonding' are higher than normal alcohols and such a liquid is denser than ethyl alcohol so it is more viscous.

What are kinds of alcohols?
There are three types of alcohols, ethyl alcohol, propyl alcohol and methyl alcohol. Ethyl alcohol is the type that is consumed.
What is the alcohol found in a triglyceride?
There is no alcohol in a triglyceride, but one is produced when it is hydrolysed. This alcohol is glycerol.
Are alcohols aromatic or aliphatic?
Alcohols may be Aliphatic as Ethyl alcohol or Aromatic as Benzyl alcohol.
What is the only drinkable alcohol?
Basically only ethyl alcohol (ethanol) is safe to drink. Even then over consumption can cause poisoning.Other alcohols such as methanol, ethylene glycol, propylene glycol, and isopropanol (isopropyl alcohol) are all toxic. Even some such as absolute ethyl alcohol is toxic as its distillation requires the addition of benzene to the alcohol water mixture before distillation.. Denatured alcohol may also be mainly ethanol but contain materials to make it undrinkable. Some nom-commercial alcohols (moonshine or other names) may be spiked with toxic alcohols to increase its "punch" Chemically (and generally) speaking, odd carbon number alcohols are more toxic that even carbon alcohols but then then only ethanol has a neutral or pleasant taste.
Is Ethylene glycol secondary alcohol?
NO! Ethylene glycol is deadly poisonous even in relatively small amounts. Ethylene glycol is not ethyl alcohol, which is the only alcohol humans (or animals) can safely drink.
Why are fats esters?
Organic acids react with alcohols to form an ester and water. Fats are made up of 3 molecules of carboxylic acids (organic acid) and 1 molecule of glycerol (alcohol). So fats are esters.
What alcohol is found in triglyceride?
glycerol
What is basically a glycerol?
a sugar alcohol
Can you distill alcohol for chemistry?
Alcohols can be distilled.
