Best Answer

It is a molecular compound with formula C2H2O. Writing it in order of the atoms in the molecule it would be H-C-C-O-H. There is a tripe bond between the two carbon atoms. Most compounds with an -OH attached to a double- or triple-bounded carbon are very unstable. Ethynol, if produced, would be immediately converted to its tautomer, H2C=C=O, or ketene, which itself is highly reactive and prone to polymerization.

Can you Make rubbing alcohol drinkable?

No. Rubbing alcohol is a type of alcohol called Isopropyl Alcohol (or isopropynol). Drinking alcohol is ethyl alcohol (or ethynol). They are different at a molecular level, which means you would have to add and remove atoms to change them. You are about as likely to do this as to turn your charcoal for your BBQ into diamonds at home.


What would cause a 1998 Jeep Grand Cherokee to hesitate and when you step on the gas it shuts off?

my 1984 started doing about it 2 years ago because the ethynol was attracting water into the gas tank and ruining my engine. My mechanic drained the gas tank and showed me the water. Many gas stations where putting more than 10% in the gas, a local tv stationed proved,; some up to 50% ethynol. It is ruining many marine engines around here also. I now stick with the one or two shell stations I trust and use mid-grade, and occasionaly use the stuff that takes water out of gas. ...if I have to travel, i use only shell and then only top grade, or if I have to use an unknown station, I put the additive stuff in that I now carry in my trunk.

How much alcohol is in a standard alcoholic beverage?

The amount of alcohol in a standard drink varies in different countries, from 6 grams in Austria to 19.75 grams in Japan. (Japan, as a country, is in serious denial about the extent of their drinking problems. Binge drinking is sort of a national sport.)In the United States, a standard drink (unit) of alcohol is any drink that contains about 14 grams of pure alcohol (about 0.6 fluid ounces or 1.2 tablespoons). In the US, a standard drink is calculated as roughly the amount of alcohol that can be metabolized by the human body in one hour. In other words, if you drank one unit per hour you could (at least in theory) continue to drink indefinitely without becoming intoxicated. In fact, metabolic rates vary among individuals and by gender, so this is not even an accurate approximation.
