About Ethyl Alcohol

Colorless, transparent liquid, very mobile and volatile, it has a characteristic odor and a burning taste.

Miscible in all proportions with water, with volume contraction and temperature rise; it is also miscible with ether, benzene, chloroform, glycerin, etc...

It dissolves resins, essences, mineral and organic acids, alkalis and most halides; It dissolves fixed oils very little, with the exception of castor oil, with which it is miscible in all proportions.

Very flammable product, cannot be used in the presence of fire, heat, ignition or sparks.

It is extracted by fermentation of sugar cane, which in the distillation process.

 

In chemical terms:

Alcohols are organic compounds that are structurally derived from aliphatic (open chain) or aromatic hydrocarbons by replacing a hydrogen atom with a hydroxyl group, OH.
The name of alcohols is obtained by substituting the   "-o" final to the name of the hydrocarbon from which they can be considered derivatives by the suffix "ol". If necessary, a number indicating the carbon atom to which the hydroxyl group is attached is prefixed.
Depending on the number of hydroxyl groups they have, alcohols are divided into monovalent, divalent, trivalent, etc. If they have more than one hydroxyl group, they are called polyalcohols.

Depending on the location of the hydroxyl group, one can have a primary alcohol, if this group is located on a terminal carbon, or a secondary alcohol, if said group is located on an intermediate carbon in the chain.

Short-chain alcohols are liquids, medium alcohols are oils and higher alcohols are solid substances with a waxy appearance.
The main applications of alcohols are as starting products for organic synthesis, additives for varnishes and solvents. From alcohols, very important acids and esters are obtained.
The best known alcohol is ethanol or ethyl alcohol (C2H5OH). This is a colorless liquid, with a characteristic odor, volatile, flammable and soluble in water. It is used as a solvent in the manufacture of paints, varnishes and perfumes, as a fuel and in the preparation of pharmaceutical products. Ethanol is still widely used as a disinfectant and is marketed as 96% ethyl alcohol, ie a mixture of 96 parts alcohol and 4 parts water. Or, 70%, that is, a mixture of 70 parts alcohol and 30 parts water.
Like all alcohols, ethanol does not exist free in nature. The easiest process to obtain this is by alcoholic fermentation of glucose.
