Ethanol

Description:
Ethanol, also known as ethyl alcohol, is a colorless, volatile liquid with a characteristic odor and taste. It is the simplest alcohol and is commonly used as a solvent, in the manufacture of beverages, and as a fuel additive. Ethanol has a molecular formula of C2H5OH and a molecular weight of approximately 46.07 g/mol. It is miscible with water, which allows it to form homogeneous solutions, and it exhibits hydrogen bonding due to the presence of a hydroxyl (-OH) group. Ethanol has a boiling point of around 78.37°C and a melting point of approximately -114.1°C. It is flammable and can form explosive mixtures with air. Ethanol is metabolized in the liver and can have psychoactive effects, making it a central component in alcoholic beverages. Additionally, it is used in various industrial applications, including as a disinfectant and in the production of personal care products. Its CAS number, 64-17-5, is a unique identifier that facilitates its identification in chemical databases.
