Ethyl alcohol (C3C2OH) known as ethanol in the IUPAC nomenclature is called grain alcohol as it is traditionally produced for distillation to pure alcohol by the fermentation of grain derived sugars.
The name separates it from methyl alcohol (C3OH) called methanol which is derived from the fermentation of cellulose as is sometimes called wood alcohol.

What are examples of ethanol?
Ethanol, also known as ethyl alcohol, is commonly found in alcoholic beverages like beer, wine, and spirits. It is also used in products such as hand sanitizers, mouthwashes, and cleaning solutions. Manufacturing processes can also produce ethanol for industrial applications.
What is the elements and substances in ethanol?
Here is a short answer: an ethanol molecule is made of two carbon atoms, one oxygen atom, and six hydrogen atoms. The short chemical formula is then C2H60. The chemical formula CH3CH2OH is more descriptive, because it conveys the information that at one end of the molecule there is a carbon atom with bonds to three hydrogens, while at the other end there is an OH (hydronium) group. Between the ends is a single CH2 set. A fuller discussion of ethanol on Wikipedia is at http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ethanol
Could you use Everclear instead of Ethanol?
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
What are the properties of Ethanol?
Ethanol, also called ethyl alcohol, grain alcohol, or drinking alcohol, is a volatile, flammable, colorless liquid. It is best known as the type of alcohol found in alcoholic beverages and in thermometers. In common usage, it is often referred to simply as alcohol. Important physical and chemical properties are listed.Physical PropertiesEthanol or ethyl alcohol is a colourless liquid with a characteristic smell called alcoholic smell.It boils at 351 K (78°C).It is neutral towards litmus.Ethanol is highly soluble or miscible with water. The two can mix with any proportion. A solution containing 95% alcohol and 5% water is called rectified spirit. Completely pure or 100% alcohol is called absolute alcohol.Chemical PropertiesCombustion: Ethanol is highly volatile and combustible liquid. When a flame is bought in its contacts, it immediately catches fire and burns with a blue flame. the products of combustion of ethanol are carbon dioxide and water. C2H5OH(l) + 3O2(g) -----> 2CO2(g) + 3H2O.Reaction with sodium metal: Ethanol reacts with sodium metal to form sodium ethoxide. Hydrogen gas is also evolved in the reaction It is accompanied by brisk effervescence. 2C2H5OH(l) + 2Na(s) -----> 2C2H5OHNa(l) + H2(g). Hydrogen gas is always evolved when an alcohol is reacted with a dry piece of sodium metal. Potassium metal also reacts in the same manner.

What is in grain alcohol?
Grain alcohol is ethanol made from fermenting grain. Depending on its intended use, it is sold diluted with a specific amount of water. If it is not intended for human consumption (drinking) but is intended as a solvent, fuel or some industrial use, something is added to it to make it poisonous and it is called denatured alcohol. Once denatured, it can no longer be made safe to drink by normal means.
