Isopropyl alcohol

Description :

Isopropyl alcohol, also known as 2-propyl alcohol, is an organic compound, the chemical formula is C  3  H  8  O, is the isomer of n-propyl alcohol, colorless transparent liquid, has a mixture of ethanol and acetone odor, soluble in water, but also soluble in alcohol, ether, benzene, chloroform and other organic solvents.Isopropyl alcohol is an important chemical product and raw material, mainly used in pharmaceuticals, cosmetics, plastics, fragrances, coatings and so on.

Isopropyl alcohol is a colorless transparent liquid that has a pungent odor at room temperature. It has a low boiling point and density and is easily soluble in water, alcohol and ether solvents. Isopropyl alcohol is a polar solvent that can be used to dissolve many organic compounds.

Isopropyl alcohol has many applications. It is an important intermediate in the synthesis of chemicals and can be used to synthesize esters, ethers and alcohol compounds. Isopropyl alcohol is also a common choice in industry as a solvent and cleaning agent.

Isopropyl alcohol - Chemical properties

Colorless clear liquid, similar to a mixture of ethanol and acetone

The smell of the substance can be miscible with alcohol, ether, chloroform and water, can dissolve alkaloids, rubber, shellac, rosin, synthetic resin and other organic matter and some inorganic matter, and form azeotrope with water, insoluble in salt solution. At room temperature, combustion can begin, and the mixture of steam and air can easily form an explosive mixture.

Isopropyl alcohol tends to produce peroxides and sometimes needs to be identified before use. The method is: take 10% isopropyl alcohol, add 0.5 potassium iodide solution 1ml, 1:5 dilute hydrochloric acid ML and a few drops of starch solution, shake well for 1 minute, if blue or blue black peroxide. It is similar to ethanol and propanol, but has the properties of secondary alcohols.
