Ethanol (C2H5OH) can, partially and VERY WEAKLY, either accept or donate protons: from a strong acid and to a strong base respectively in the same way water does, this is called ampholytic behaviour.

What do Proton-Transfer reactions favor?
Proton-Transfer: reactions favor the production of the weaker acid and weaker base.
Can acid base reactions be reversible?
can the reaction between alkali and acid be reversed
What reactions can occur with an acid?
Almost any reaction can involve an acid; the most common is the acid-base or neutralisation reaction.
Is purell acid or base?
Acid, it's main ingredient is an alcohol which will contribute H+ to the solution
What type of reactions occur between acid and bases?
A reaction between a base and an acid is a neutralization reaction with the formation of a salt.
What is acid-base neutralization reactions?
Acid + Base = Salt +Water
What chemical reactions yield water?
Acid-Base Reactions.
What are reactions between an acid and a base called?
Such reactions are called neutralization reactions.
What type of reactions is an acid-base reactions?
Neutralization
Rubbing alcohol base or acid?
base
Is CH3OH a salt or base or acid?
CH3OH is not a base and neither is it an acid. This is the chemical formula of methanol which is an alcohol.
What is a product of an acid base reactions?
Salt
Are all acid base reactions also oxidation reduction reactions?
No, most of them are just acid base reaction and not followed by oxidation reduction reaction.
What are Acid-base reaction?
Acid-base reactions are chemical reactions that occur only between an acid and a base. These are examples of single-displacement reactions. An acid is loosely described as something, whether it be an element or a compound, combined with hydrogen to form a (larger) compound. A base is loosely described as a compound or element combined with OH (Hydroxide). An acid-base reaction always yields H2O.
Could a bronsted-lowry acid not be an arrhenius acid?
Since protons are always transferred in the Arrenhius concept, all Arrhenius acid/base reactions are also Bronsted-Lowry acid/base reactions.
What do Proton-Transfer reactions favor?
Proton-Transfer: reactions favor the production of the weaker acid and weaker base.
Is C2H4O2 weak or strong?
it is a non electrolyte C2H5OH is not a base, its an alcohol, ETHYL ALCOHOL so its just an alcohol
