DESCRIPTION
General description
Ethanol, also known as Ethyl alcohol, is a primary alcohol. It is a colorless liquid that has low viscosity and is widely used as a solvent and intermediate in organic syntheses. It is miscible in solvents such as water, ketones, ethers, and other alcohols.
Application
Ethanol may be used as solvent in the following application:
- Solvent in organic synthesis (Ex. Esterification reaction)
- Solvent for cytofluorimetric analysis
- Antimicrobial and disinfectant agent
- Cleaning
- Purification
- General Chemical Syntheses
Packaging
