a colorless, flammable, water-soluble liquid, C 3 H 8 O, produced from propylene by the action of sulfuric acid and hydrolysis: used chiefly in the manufacture of antifreeze and rubbing alcohol and as a solvent, most commenly used in rubbing alcohol
Isopropanol precipitates the RNA. Up to that point it's generally in solution. Centrifuging the tube after this step should leave a very faint but generally visible white smudge/pellet of RNA. The ethanol steps that follow the isopropanol precipitation are simple washes.
Ethanol has two carbons, isopropanol has three carbons. So iso-propanol is larger in size.
Yes, isopropanol (isopropyl alcohol) is flammable. It has a low flash point and can ignite easily when exposed to an ignition source such as a flame or a spark. It is important to handle and store isopropanol carefully to prevent accidents.
Isopropanol is more preferred than ethanol in DNA extraction, as isopropanol facilitates precipitation more better, as it possess very less i.e., 0.6 to 0.7 volumes of alcohol.
Yes, isopropanol (or isopropyl alcohol) is sensitive to light and can degrade when exposed to UV light over time. It is best to store isopropanol in a dark, opaque container away from light to maintain its stability and effectiveness.
No, copper is not soluble in isopropanol. Copper is insoluble in nonpolar solvents like isopropanol.
No, anhydrous isopropanol is isopropanol (also known as isopropyl alcohol) without any water content. Isopropanol typically comes in different grades with varying levels of water content, but anhydrous isopropanol specifically refers to the pure form without any water.
Coal is not soluble in isopropanol.
Citric acid is sparingly soluble in isopropanol.
The pH of isopropanol is around 7, as it is a neutral substance.
Isopropanol peroxide formation is initiated when isopropanol (rubbing alcohol) comes into contact with oxygen and heat. Factors that contribute to its occurrence include high concentrations of isopropanol, exposure to air, and elevated temperatures.

no
Yes, ammonia and isopropanol are chemicals; all the universe is a mixture of elements and chemical compounds.
Yes, isopropanol evaporates quickly due to its low boiling point and high volatility.
TOP (tri-n-butylphosphine) is sparingly soluble in isopropanol but may dissolve to some extent at higher temperatures or with agitation. It is generally more soluble in organic solvents like hexane or toluene. It is recommended to check the solubility of TOP in isopropanol experimentally for specific applications.
Propanol and isopropanol are isomers. Isopropanol is the structural isomer of propanol. It has a strong smell and is without any color.
