What are the ingredients in isopropryl rubbing alcohol?

Rubbing alcohol contains two ingredients. One is isopropanol (also called isopropyl alcohol or propan-2-ol), which has C3H7OH as its chemical formula. The other ingredient is water. The rubbing alcohol sold in pharmacies is typically 70% isopropanol by mass and 30% water. It also comes as a 91% isopropanol. The 70% is actually a better disinfectant.Ethyl alcohol is also available as a rubbing alcohol, and is a smaller molecule than isopropanol.Also note that rubbing alcohol that is bought over the counter, especially in the US, is adulterated with all sorts of other molecules, such as benzene and methanol. This is done to keep people from drinking them. (In the US, they are added so that they can be sold without a liquor license.)Read more: What_are_the_ingredients_in_rubbing_alcohol

Why 70 percent alcohol are more potent than 80 percent alcohol?

You have been misinformed. The more alcohol, the more "potent" the drink, period. It may be that the particular drink mixed with 140 proof (70%) uses more liquor than the one made with 160 proof (80%). Either would be plenty potent, and would require a lot of mixer to mask the flavor of that much alcohol.If you meant 70 and 80 proof, the same remarks would apply except for the mixer.


Why does beer freeze and liquor does not?

Actually, liquor does freeze, only at far lower temperatures than water. That is because alcohol has a much lower freezing point, like the antifreeze we put in car radiators to keep the water from freezing in cold weather. Liquor does freeze but at a lot lower temperature than water, this is due to the alcoholic content. The higher the alcohol content the lower the temperature need to freeze it
