Vegetable oil, CAS # 9083-41-4, has a molecular weight of approximately 860 g/mol, and is far less volatile than the relatively tiny ethyl alcohol molecule, which has a molecular weight of approximately 46 g/mol. A larger molecular such as vegetable oil takes more energy in order for it to phase transition from the liquid state to a gaseous state.
What else can I help you with?
Is benzene or ethyl ether highly volatile?
Ethyl ether is more volatile than benzene. Ethyl ether has a lower boiling point and vapor pressure, making it easier for it to evaporate rapidly. Benzene is less volatile compared to ethyl ether due to its higher boiling point and lower vapor pressure.
Which is more safe to use ethyl alcohol or isopropyl alcohol?
This really depends on what you need to use these alcohols for. While is isopropyl alcohol is rubbing alcohol used for external purposes, ethyl alcohol is for drinking. So, if its for consumption, then ethyl alcohol is safe to use. Ethyl alcohol also is used in products like cough suppressants and mouthwashes.
What floats in ethyl alcohol?
Most solids and liquids that are less dense than ethyl alcohol will float in it. Some examples include oil, wax, and certain types of plastic. However, materials that are more dense than ethyl alcohol, such as most metals, will sink in it.
Is isopropal alcohol acetic?
No! Acetic (more properly, Ethyl) Alcohol is C2H5OH but Isopropal Alcohol (a secondary propyl alcohol) is CH3CHOHCH3.
What property describes when alcohol at 60 degrees Celsius?
Ethyl alcohol or ethanol (more commonly known as drinking alcohol), will be a hot alcohol.
Why glycerol is more viscous then ethyl alcohol?
Glycerol (Glycerin) contains three 'OH' groups at adjacent carbon atoms so the chances of ' hydrogen bonding' are higher than normal alcohols and such a liquid is denser than ethyl alcohol so it is more viscous.
Why does ethyl ethanoate smell more when combined with water?
Ethyl ethanoate is more volatile than water, meaning it evaporates more easily. When combined with water, the ethyl ethanoate molecules escape from the solution and reach our nose faster, leading to a stronger smell perception compared to when ethyl ethanoate is in its pure liquid form.
Why boiling point of ethyl alcohol is higher as compared to dimethyl ether?
The boiling point of ethyl alcohol is higher than that of dimethyl ether because ethyl alcohol has stronger intermolecular forces (hydrogen bonding) between its molecules than dimethyl ether, which only has weaker van der Waals forces. These stronger intermolecular forces in ethyl alcohol require more energy to overcome, resulting in a higher boiling point.
Which shows maximum hydrogen bonding with wate.is it methyl alcohol or ethyl alcohol?
Ethyl alcohol shows maximum hydrogen bonding with water because it has an additional -CH2 group compared to methyl alcohol, providing more sites for hydrogen bonding with water molecules.
Is Ethyl Alcohol a controlled substance in California?
Beverage alcohol is, but it's not a "scheduled" controlled substance like pot, heroin, cocaine or amphetamines. It's legal to buy it only if you meet the age requirement, which is 21. Ethyl alcohol used as a solvent (and mixed with something to make it undrinkable so it doesn't have to be taxed as beverage alcohol; this is called Denatured Alcohol in the US or Methylated Spirits in the UK) is a Volatile Organic Compound and there are lots more laws governing its sale.
What is the difference between ethyl and methyl alcohol?
Methanol, also known as methyl alcohol, is madeof molecules containing one methyl group, with a chemical structure of CH3-OH. Methanol is highly toxic if inhaled, drunk, or absorbed through the skin and can cause blindness. Ethyl alcohol is the same as ethanol or grain alcohol. I has two methyl groups and looks like CH3-CH3-OH. This is the type of alcohol found in the alcoholic beverages people consume. Both compounds are organic and are good solvents and fixatives.
What does ethyl alcohol do to steel?
Ethyl alcohol can corrode or tarnish steel if it is in prolonged contact with the metal, especially in high concentrations. It can also weaken the steel's structure over time.
