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
No, 70% isopropyl rubbing alcohol is a homogeneous mixture because it is a uniform solution of isopropyl alcohol with water. It has the same composition throughout and its components are evenly distributed.
A concentration of 70% alcohol is generally preferred for sterilization during plant tissue culture. This is because a 70% solution is more effective at penetrating the cell walls of microorganisms, making it a better option for disinfection. Using absolute alcohol may be too harsh and could damage plant tissues.
Alcohol with high concentrations can be obtained after double or triple distillation of some cereals grains or fruits.
It is difficult and expensive to refine anything to 100% purity. Best to use 70% as it is just as effective and cost a whole lot less.
the higher the proof the stronger - more alcohol - there is. In the UK 70 dgree proof was the standard strength of whiskey - 40% alcohol. 100 proof is 57.1% alcohol. 175 proof is 100% alcohol. In the USA it is different. 100 proof would be 50% alcohol, 70 proof would be 35% alcohol. 200proof would be 100% alcohol. ie double
It's 70 proof. Therefore, 35% is its alcohol content. Alcohol content is: proof divided by 2
'Proof' is a unit of measurement equal to 1 half of 1 percent. Therefore, 150 proof is 75% Alcohol by Volume (although at this point, you're more likely drinking moonshine or grain alcohol and not whiskey)
35 percent 70 proof
Proof is always double the actual alcohol content of a given product. A seventy proof vodka would contain 35% of pure (100%) ethanol.
7:4 ratio. 70 proof is approx 40% alcohol.
90 proof means the alcohol content is 45%, by volume.200 proof = 100%180 proof = 90%and so on.
It varies by brand, the higher the cost the higher percent alcohol (proof) it will be. However rum is usually about 35% alcohol (70 proof) and tequila is almost always 40% (80 proof).
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.
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
Commercial vanilla extracts generally contain between 35 - 40% alcohol (70-80 proof)
Captain Morgan Original Spiced Rum typically contains 35% alcohol by volume (70 proof).
