1-Propanol, also known as propan-1-ol, propanol, or n-propyl alcohol, is a primary alcohol with the formula CH3CH2CH2OH. It is used as a solvent and a disinfectant, and is a byproduct of grain fermentation.
Isopropyl alcohol, also known as propan-2-ol, isopropanol, or 2-propanol, is a colorless, flammable organic compound with a pungent alcoholic odor. It is a secondary alcohol that can be used as a solvent, disinfectant, antiseptic, and denaturant for ethanol.
Learn about the chemical properties, structure, and nomenclature of alcohols, a class of organic compounds with a hydroxyl group. Explore the history of alcohol production, distillation, and medicinal use from ancient to modern times.
A solubility table provides information on the variation of solubility of different substances in water with temperature, at one atmosphere pressure. The table lists the solubility of chloride salts and other inorganic compounds in grams per 100 millilitres of water.
A solubility chart shows the solubility of ionic compounds in water at 1 atm pressure and room temperature. The chart is based on experimental data and includes the solubility categories (highly soluble, slightly soluble, etc.) and the sources of each compound.
Amyl alcohols are alcohols with the formula C 5 H 11 OH, of which eight are known. The most common amyl alcohol is 1-pentanol, also called normal amyl alcohol, which is a solvent and a product of fermentation.
Equivalent concentration or normality is a measure of solute concentration in solution based on equivalence factor. It is used in acid-base, redox and precipitation reactions, but has different definitions and criticisms.
Isopropyl chloride can be easily produced in the lab by reacting concentrated hydrochloric acid with isopropyl alcohol in the presence of a calcium chloride or zinc chloride catalyst. The common ratio of alcohol to acid to catalyst is 1:2:1 using 30% HCl and near pure isopropyl alcohol.
