So as not to 'waste' too much ethanol. To use 95 % ethanol allows some ethanol to be saved!
It is prepared by taking five volume of ethanol and dissolve in 100 ml of water .
most "absolute" ethanol used in the lab is 95% ethanol by volume,this is due to the fact the ethanol is very miscible with water so its difficult to remove all the water that is present in the atmosphere,it is possible to get 100 alcohol but it is an awkward process and generally 95 does the job just fine
According to the CRC Handbook, 70th edition, the density of 94% ethanol is 0.8070 g/ml and the density of 96% ethanol is 0.8013 g/ml. We can interpolate to find that the 95% ethanol should be 0.8042 g/ml.
hmm well the label on everclear does say that its 95% volume,so technically i guess it would be a suitable substitute for 95% ethanol if you were stuck,id still recommend buying the ethanol youd use in a lab unless its for a burner
95%

95 ml of ethyl alcohol to 5 ml of water
70% is the most effective concentration to denature poteins so killing bacteria. At 95% the ethanol just evaporates and leaves the protein untouched. Below 70% does not denature proteins. It also makes the ethanol less flammable.
Find the volume of the 100% ethanol Add 1/19 of water to the volume (if it is like 190ml, add 10ml of water since 190/200=95%)
One has 4.5 percent more alcohol which is important because you can get to a max of 95 percent using fractional distillation. To get the 99.9 percent or absolute alcohol, you need to use other more advanced methods. Some of these include include desiccation using adsorbents.
1. Extract 959,6 mL from the 99 % solution. 2. Add 40,4 mL water.
Disinfectants are usually mostly alcohol, Ethanol to be exact. Ethanol can only reach a purity degree of 95-96 percent in liquid form, with purer solutions existing only as a gas. 70 percent alcohol is sufficient to kill the bacteria, and a higher purity would not have any beneficial effect.

95% Ethanol is used in the microbiology lab to disinfect surfaces. This is a precaution necessary to avoid contamination of your samples and supplies.

It is an alchoholic compound i.e. 95% ethanol.
Usually zero ml because ethanol is not normally used in rubbing alcohol. However, there is a little Ethanol-based rubbing alcohol and rubbing alcohol is usually 70 percent, so multiply 50 ml x .7 to get your answer.
