How many protons does isopropyl alcohol C3H8O have?
We need to first find the number of protons for each of the constituent atoms of isopropyl alcohol. Looking at a periodic table, we see that carbon has 6 protons per atom, hydrogen has 1, and oxygen has 8. Thus, the number of protons in isopropyl alcohol is 6*3 + 1*8 + 8 = 34 per molecule.

How many milligrams of isopropyl alcohol in a gallon?
First, you need to know the density of the isopropyl alcohol, which is about 0.785 g/cm^3. Next, you need to know how many cm^3 are in a gallon. 1 gallon = 231 in^3 = 231 * (2.54)^3 cm^3 = 3785 cm^3 Also, we need to convert from grams to milligrams 1 gram = 1000 milligrams so... (.785 g/cm^3) * (1000 milligrams/gram) * (3785 cm^3/gallon) * (1 gallon) = 2,970,000 mg

Why do people use rubbing alcohol to break a fever?
You should not apply isopropyl alcohol directly to the forehead or anywhere else on the body. Isopropyl alcohol, unlike ethyl (drinkable) alcohol, is toxic to the body. In small amounts applied to wounds, it is not harmful, but since isopropyl alcohol is easily absorbed by the skin, it can rise to toxic levels very quickly. However, since rubbing alcohol is offered as either isopropyl or ethyl alcohol, if you have a purely ethyl alcohol and water- based rubbing alcohol, it can be used for this purpose. However, it should first be diluted with more water since it is of a very high concentration that is still harmful to the body. Use about 1 part ethyl rubbing alcohol, 2-4 parts water. Obviously, do not use this on young children because it has the same effect as if you gave them alcohol to drink. Sure won't hurt, it also won't help. It might feel cooling but it won't significantly affect your internal body temp. You need to rid your body of infection or take a medication that will lower your temp such as aspirin, acetominphen, or ibuprofen. However, don't take aspirin if you are under 15 years old because of the risk of Rye's Syndrome. Studies have shown that using isoprpyl alcohol and water baths for fever can be dangerous. The fumes from the mixture can be harmful to both the person being bathed and the person giving the bath as they can be absorbed through the lungs. The isopropyl alcohol can also be absorbed by the skin when applied to the skin. The amount of alcohol that would be used in a bath could lead to alcohol toxicity. Medical studies have shown that inhalation or absorption from the skin could lead to toxic levels of isopropyl alcohol.
