Can ethyl alcohol dissolve oil?

Ethyl alcohol can dissolve some oils, especially lighter oils like mineral oil or essential oils. However, it may not be as effective in dissolving heavier oils like motor oil or greases. The solubility of oil in ethyl alcohol depends on the type and composition of the oil.


If you boil ethyl alcohol does the chemical structure change?

No. The chemical structure of ethyl alcohol gas is the same as ethyl alcohol liquid.


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.


How methyl alcohol and ethyl alcohol?

Methyl alcohol, also known as methanol, has one carbon atom in its molecule, while ethyl alcohol, also known as ethanol, has two carbon atoms. Both alcohols are commonly used as solvents and fuels, but ethyl alcohol is also found in alcoholic beverages and is metabolized by the human body. Methanol is toxic and can cause blindness or death if ingested.
