Is isopropyl alcohol the same as propylene glycol?

Answer 1

Propylene glycol and benzine glycol differ in chemical formula and properties. Ethylene glycol is more toxic than propylene glycol, therefore propylene glycol is used when safer properties are required.

Answer 2

till now i am serching for this answer, because as a moslem we can't eat or drink sweets or cakes containing alcohol more than 4% (the percentage that can cause drunk)

The only alcohol humans may safely drink is ethyl alcohol, also known as ethanol. The writers and editors of the Koran did not know about any other alcohol, so they did not specify, nor did they know about antifreeze. Glycols are generally not imbibable alcohols (although the "OH" or "hydroxyl" group attached to carbon atom is the alcohol group). If you drink methyl alcohol you will be very sick and may die; if you drink ethylene glycol you will be very sick and may die; if you drink isopropyl alcohol you will be very sick and want to die. Ethanol (one hydroxyl group on one of two carbon atoms) and glycerol (three hydroxyl groups on three carbon atoms) and propylene glycol (two hydroxyl groups on --I think-- carbon atoms 1 and 2 of three in the molecule) may be imbibed in greater amounts without serious side effects -- all that means is that they have a lower toxicity. The Koran is not helpful in the matter of organic chemistry.

Answer 3

No. Isopropyl alcohol has the IUPAC name 2-propanol; propylene glycol is 1,2-propanediol.

Essentially, isopropyl alcohol is propane with a hydroxyl group on the middle carbon; propylene glycol is propane with twohydroxyl groups, one on the middle carbon and one on one of the end carbons (it doesn't matter which; they're chemically equivalent).

Answer 4

No, isopropyl alcohol and propylene glycol are different compounds. Isopropyl alcohol is a type of alcohol commonly used as a solvent and disinfectant, while propylene glycol is a synthetic compound often used as a food additive and in cosmetics and pharmaceuticals.

Answer 5

No.

Propylene Glycol: CH3CH(OH)CH2(OH): 1,2 - propanediol

Propylene Glycol Monomethyl Ether: CH3OCH2CH(OH)CH3: 1-methoxy-2-propanol

Answer 6

Propylene is the common or trivial name of propene (CH3-CH=CH2). While Propylene glycol is the propane diol.

Answer 7

Not usually - they are completely different materials
