Best Answer

Under typical distillation conditions, ethanol can only be purified to 95% with 5% water remaining. There are additional techniques that can be used to remove the remaining water to make it anhydrous (no water). Do not confuse 95% alcohol with 95% denatured alcohol. In denatured alcohol the remaining 5% is composed of other alcohol impurities like methanol, propanol, and butanol, to name a few.

What is 70 percent alcohol and what is 95 percent alcohol which is better to use and why?

70% alcohol means in hundred parts of it, 70 parts are pure alcohol, rest is water. 95% means 95 parts of pure alcohol in 100 parts, so 5 parts of water. It depends on the usage. As a solvent, 95% would be preferred. As antiseptic, both can be used, 75% being more common as medicinal spirit. For consumption, fairly dilute concentrations are preferred. Above 43% are rare so both the above concentrations are dangerous for consumption.
