What proof is pure grain alcohol?

"Pure alcohol is 200 proof."

Not generally true. You would think so, except that practical issues with distilling mean that the product known as "pure grain alcohol" is 190 proof (5% water cannot be distilled out of the product) in many states, and in some states, for legal reasons, "PGA" is actually 151 proof because higher proof is not legal to sell.

It is difficult to maintain alcohol at 200 proof because, when exposed to air, it self-dilutes to a lower proof.

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.

What chemical in rubbing alcohol doesn't freeze?

Isopropyl alcohol is the chemical in rubbing alcohol that doesn't freeze easily. It has a freezing point of -128.2 degrees Fahrenheit (-89 degrees Celsius), making it useful for cold weather applications.

What chemicals are in rubbing alcohol?

Usually water and Isopropyl Alcohol and sometimes some aromatic fragrances. Isopropyl alcohol is made up of carbon, hydrogen, and oxygen (C3H7OH), which makes it an organic compound. Isopropyl alcohol comes from wood grain. Rubbing alcohol is typically 70% isopropanol and 30% water. Isopropanol is propane (C3H8) with one of the middle hydrogens knocked off and replaced with a hydroxyl (OH). The formula for isopropanol is C3H8O, or writing the formula to show how the atoms are connected, it would be (CH3)2CH-OH Should be nothing more than isopropyl alcohol and perhaps some water. Some preparations also add some food coloring (green, usually), so it doesn't look like water.

Why is alcohol flammable?

Alcohol is the name given to a group of molecules called hydrocarbons. The alcohol present in drinks is ethanol. These hydrocarbons contain many chemical bonds and in turn a large energy potential. When the the alcohol is lit by a another source of energy (lighter) the bonds break rapidly releasing energy in the form of heat. Fossil fuels such as petroleum and coal contain hydrocarbons. As a point of interest internal combustion engines do not efficiently harvest the energy contained in fossil fuels and hence pollute the atmosphere. In a similar comparison our bodies extract energy from similar bonds such as carbohydrates (sugars) and lipids (fats).

Is rubbing alcohol a harmful chemical?

Rubbing AlcoholParaphrased from Wikipedia.org entries:

Rubbing Alcohol is not necessarily a "harmful" chemical, but is one that should be used with caution, and as directed on the packaging1.

Rubbing alcohol is sometimes consumed by those who cannot afford or cannot legally buy beverage alcohol (ethanol). The minimum age of 21 to purchase alcohol in the United States does not apply to rubbing alcohol. Rubbing alcohol products that contain methyl alcohol (methanol) can cause blindness, permanent disabling illness, or death when consumed1. Isopropyl alcohol may also be partly metabolized to acetone, which is toxic to the liver.

Rubbing alcohol should be used in a well-ventilated area. Some cautions go so far as to say protective gloves should be worn while using it. Poisoning can occur from ingestion, inhalation, or absorption of rubbing alcohol1.

Isopropyl alcohol vapor is heavier than air and is highly flammable with a very wide combustible range2.

Mixing rubbing alcohol with pool chlorine can result in a Haloform reaction, generating lots of heat and boiling off its products as excess gas. If this chemical reaction is done inside a closed plastic container, the gas can build up until it ruptures violently. This can pose a serious risk of injury as the chemicals (such as bleach) and shrapnel from the container are thrown outward by the explosion1.
