Water has a higher surface tension than rubbing alcohol, which allows it to form a more cohesive droplet that can hold together better on the surface of a penny. Additionally, water is more polar than rubbing alcohol, leading to stronger adhesive forces between the water molecules and the penny's surface. This results in water being able to "stick" and accumulate more effectively than rubbing alcohol.

What is the difference between grain alcohol and rubbing alcohol?

Difference In Grain and Rubbing AlcoholIf memory serves me correctly, grain alcohol is derived from the fermentation of various grains, with the most common being from corn, and it's safe to consume. On the other hand, rubbing alcohol contains isopropyl alcohol (which is a chemically made alcohol), and usually contains additional water and sometimes glycerine, and isn't intended to be substituted for either grain or wood alcohol. To drink it would make one very ill and may even be lethal, or cause blindness. In other words grain alcohol is not equal to rubbing alcohol. period.steph says no.

Why would an object float in water but sink in rubbing alcohol?

An object will float in water if its density is less than that of water. Rubbing alcohol has a lower density than water, so an object that sinks in rubbing alcohol likely has a higher density than the rubbing alcohol. This difference in density causes the object to sink in rubbing alcohol but float in water.

How much rubbing alcohol do you put into windshield wiper fluid to keep it from from freezing?

Normal windshield washer fluid contains methanol. Rubbing alcohol is isopropyl alcohol. Assuming that your rubbing alcohol is 70% alcohol, I would mix 1 cup of alcohol for every 2 cups of distilled water. If you use tap water, you could get mineral deposits in your windshield washer tubing. Also, I wouldn't try using rubbing alcohol in an older car, because it might still use rubber tubing. This would be damaged by the isopropyl alcohol.


HOW MANY ML OF ETHYL ALCOHOL ARE PRESENT IN A 50 ML OF BOTTLE OF RUBBING ALCOHOL?

Can rubbing alcohol in the bath water affect the internal body?

The answer to this depends on two factors. First, the ratio of rubbing alcohol to water in the bath.

In low amounts and with no way for the alcohol to enter the body, the bath will be fine.
