Rubbing alcohol enhances perfume, I have made my own dozens of times. For me, I use mulling spices and/or lemon, orange, or lime peels.
1. 1/4 a teaspoon of vanilla
2. 2 tablespoons of water
3. A dash or so of the spices or peels (you can also use mint leaves)
4. Add a couple drops of rubbing alcohol
5. Stir well for about 5 minutes
6. Let it sit for 1 hour
7. Put liquid into an empty spray/perfume bottle with coffee filter
8. Voila! Enjoy your perfume!

Objects will float better in rubbing alcohol than in water because rubbing alcohol has a lower density than water. This means that objects will displace less liquid in rubbing alcohol, making it easier for them to float.
Rubbing alcohol typically has a pH level around 5.5-6.0, making it slightly acidic.
Yes, isopropyl alcohol and rubbing alcohol are both types of alcohol that can be used interchangeably for making soap to help reduce bubbles and pop air bubbles in the soap mixture. However, make sure that the isopropyl alcohol is at least 70% strength to be effective for this purpose.
Yes, rubbing alcohol can expire. Over time, rubbing alcohol can lose its effectiveness due to evaporation or contamination, making it less suitable for its intended purposes such as disinfection. It is recommended to check the expiration date on the bottle and replace it if it has expired.
Isopropyl alcohol is the chemical in rubbing alcohol that doesn't freeze easily. It has a freezing point of -128.2 degrees Fahrenheit (-89 degrees Celsius), making it useful for cold weather applications.

When rubbing alcohol expires, it may lose its effectiveness in killing germs and bacteria. This is because the alcohol content may decrease over time, making it less potent. It is still safe to use for cleaning purposes, but may not be as effective in disinfecting.
Alcohol fermentation takes place in the fermentation tanks during the process of making alcoholic beverages.
Yes, it can be homemade, but in most parts of the world this involves distilling to produce a spirit, like producing whiskey or vodka, and is illegal. The raw alcohol produced by fermenting and distilling biomass (ie it doesn't have to taste nice) is then blended with substances such as methyl salicylate (wintergreen) which have an effect on the skin's circulation, and on its nervous supply, making the surface hot. This blending also makes the alcohol quite poisonous: drinking it will get you drunk but the effects on the lining of your stomach are spectacular. In the UK its known as "surgical spirit."
Rubbing alcohol is used in thermometers because it has a lower freezing point than water, allowing the thermometer to measure lower temperatures accurately. Additionally, alcohol has a wider temperature range than mercury, making it suitable for various types of thermometers.
Rubbing alcohol is a good solvent for chromatography testing because it is able to dissolve a wide range of substances, making it effective at separating different compounds. The polarity of rubbing alcohol allows for good separation of compounds based on their molecular interactions with the solvent and the stationary phase. Additionally, rubbing alcohol evaporates quickly, which aids in the visualization of separated compounds.
