Is antibacterial gel a pure substance?

No, antibacterial gel is not a pure substance; it is a mixture. It typically contains various components, including alcohol (like ethyl or isopropyl alcohol), water, glycerin, and other ingredients such as fragrances or moisturizers. These components work together to provide antibacterial properties while also enhancing the gel's texture and usability.


Can you use isopropyl alcohol instead of ethyl alcohol in perfumes and what are the advantages or disadvantages?

Isopropyl alcohol can be used in perfumes as a solvent, but it may have a harsher odor compared to ethyl alcohol. Additionally, isopropyl alcohol can be drying to the skin and may not be as commonly used in perfumery as ethyl alcohol. The choice between the two alcohols would depend on the specific formulation and desired outcome of the perfume.

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

Is grain alcohol more sanitary than rubbing alcohol. I have been using grain alcohol for antibacterial usage rather than using the gel antibacterial lotions. But grain alcohol costs 15 per liter.?

"Grain alcohol" is ethyl alcohol (ethanol). Gel antibacterial lotions are typically somewhere around 70% ethyl alcohol. Ethyl alcohol is most potent as an antiseptic when diluted slightly with water to somewhere around that 70% ethyl alcohol range. If you're buying "grain alcohol" that is 190 proof (95%) or greater, and using it straight as an antiseptic, then you're not getting the best value for your money.Rubbing alcohol is typically 70% isopropyl alcohol. It too is a good antiseptic.The gel antibacterial lotions are easier to apply, less messy, and they contain emollients that prevent the skin from being dried out by the alcohol. Generally speaking they are the best solution to the problem, combine with thorough washing several times a day.As for which is better, I suppose it all comes down to concentration and application, but all should work just fine.
