Does non polar rubbing alcohol have surface tension?

I'm not sure what "non polar rubbing alcohol" is supposed to be. At least one of the words in that phrase is wrong: either it's polar or it's not an alcohol. But it turns out not to matter in this particular case, because all liquids have surface tension.


How will density determined the order that liquids will stack when placed in the same containers water?

If the liquids are immiscible (cannot be mixed - such as cooking oil and water), they will separate with the most dense at the bottom and the least dense at the top. If they are miscible, such as alcohol and water, they might still briefly separate by density, but will soon become a homologous solution with no distinguisable layers.


What type of alcohol is best fuel for alcohol burner in chemistry lab?

denatured alchohol is best. You can find it at your local hardware store. Denatured alcohol is the right stuff but make sure it has a ethanol content of 80% or higher. At least that is what I would call it. I got some that was 50% and it wouldn't work at all. So if you are going to get some I would recommend 80% or higher and maybe 90% if you want to be sure.


How do you sort liquids by pH?

Liquids can be sorted by pH using pH testing strips or a pH meter. The liquids are tested and the pH level is measured to determine their acidity or basicity. The liquids can then be organized from most acidic to least acidic or from most basic to least basic based on their pH values.


How many kinds of liquids are there in the world?

Well, sweetheart, there are technically millions of liquids in the world if you want to get all scientific about it. But if you're looking for a simple answer, let's just say there are three main types: water-based, oil-based, and alcohol-based. So, drink up and don't overthink it, darling.

What is the difference between ethyl and isopropyl alcohol?

ethanol has the formula C2H5OH and is suitable for consumption by humans,isopropyl alcohol(C3H8O) is an isomer of propanol with the OH alcohol functional group on the second carbon as opposed to at the end of the chain as normal,whats marketed as isopropyl alcohol(rubbing alcohol) in America actually contains no isopropyl alcohol as far as i know,just denatured ethanol.isopropyl aclohol is a skin irritant and is metabolised to acetone in the body,it is about twice as toxic as ethanol


How do hand sanitizers work?

Hand sanitizers work by using alcohol (typically ethyl alcohol or isopropyl alcohol) to kill germs and bacteria on the hands. The alcohol disrupts the outer membrane of the microbes, causing them to die. It is important to use hand sanitizers with at least 60% alcohol to effectively kill most germs.

What is the active ingredient in all FDA approved hand sanitizer?

The active ingredient in all FDA-approved hand sanitizers is typically alcohol, specifically either ethyl alcohol (ethanol) or isopropyl alcohol (isopropanol). For a hand sanitizer to be effective, it generally needs to contain at least 60% alcohol by volume. Some formulations may also include other ingredients for skin conditioning, but alcohol remains the primary antiseptic component.

Is ethyl alchohol a pure substance or mixture?

It is a pure substance.Added:Chemically speaking alcohol is meant to be ethanol, which is a pure compound with formula CH3CH2OH, it definitely is not a mixture, except when 'dissolved' in water (most stable solution: 4% water + 96% ethanol. (This is what you get when buying a bottle pure ethanol)
