Yes, rubbing alcohol is a common name for isopropyl alcohol.
No, putting rubbing alcohol in your gas tank can damage your engine and fuel system. Rubbing alcohol is not designed for use in vehicles and can cause serious harm to your car's components. It is best to stick to using the recommended fuel for your vehicle.
Before rubbing alcohol absorbs, it is a liquid. While it absorbs (heat), the phase change occurring is evaporation. As the alcohol takes in heat, it turns into a gas.
Active Ingredients Ethyl Alcohol by Volume 70% Ingredients Denatonium Benzoate , Methyl Isobutyl Ketone , Water The ingredients will be listed on the bottle. There are two standard kinds of rubbing alcohol: (1) one made with isopropryl alcohol, which has a certain toxicity but is more pleasant or neutral smelling; and (2) one made with ethyl alcohol with an added denaturing agent to make it inedible. The ethyl alcohol (ethanol) variety has a bitter or sour or unpleasant smell, and is therefore much less popular than the isopropryl alcohol variety. This is why even though the pharmaceutical definition for "rubbing alcohol" is denatured ethyl alcohol, isopropryl alcohol is far more available commercially and is also labeled as "rubbing" alcohol. The uses of both varieties are the same, although isopropryl alcohol, because of its inherant toxicity, carries warnings about overuse and safe handling. According to Wikipedia.org1: Common, over the counter "Rubbing Alcohol" in pads or in fluid form is generally 60-70% solution of isopropanol in water. Although Isopropanol is sometimes sold as "Isopropyl Rubbing Alcohol, 70%" and "Isopropyl Rubbing Alcohol, 99%" (harder to find but generally more useful for experimenters & cleaning uses), there is no isopropyl alcohol in the United States Pharmacopeia formula for Rubbing alcohol, U.S.P.. It is used as a disinfectant, and is a common solvent.
Boiling water: When water is heated, it changes from a liquid state to a gaseous state, forming steam. Evaporation of alcohol: When rubbing alcohol is exposed to air, it evaporates and changes into a gas.
Rubbing alcohol (also called isopropyl alcohol) is made by combining water and propene. Propene is a gaseous hydrocarbon -- a byproduct of the oil refining or natural gas industries. Don't drink it !!! (It will make you sick.) Ethyl alcohol or ethanol (a.k.a moonshine) is formed by fermentation & distillation. This is the drinkable kind of alcohol.
Yes It is
Well actually... i know nothing about cars.... or rubbing alcohol... although... dry gas happen to be my specialty.... and let me tell you... dry gas is more dry in the winter.... due to lack of humidity... as it would be in the summer or spring-a-ling. cha ching. ba da bing. ching ching. ring a ding. you heard? what the word. terd. the bird is the word to the bird. its not obserd. that i be sayin so many words!!
A small amount of rubbing alcohol mixed with gas should not hurt your cars engine. The alcohol will burn with no problems.
I know for a fact that you can mix rubbing alcohol and water, as most rubbing alcohol is a water and isopropyl alcohol solution, but when you mix vinegar and backing soda a gas is produced, so it probably wouldn't mix that well.

Not entirely sure you're asking but if you mix dry ice with rubbing alcohol (91%) the temperature of the liquid will drop to around -120 degrees F. It will not freeze but instead for a liquid nitrogen like liquid.
Rubbing alcohol is 70% isopropyl alcohol, so you wouldn't use it since it contains some water. Use 99% isopropyl alcohol instead.
Rubbing alcohol is less dense than water. Therefore, any substance with a lower density than water would also be less dense than rubbing alcohol. Examples include oil and gas.

It is a physical change. The molecules of the alcohol are still there, there are just spread out.
