Ethanol is a versatile solvent that means it is miscible with water. It is also miscible with many organic solvents, including acetic acid, acetone, benzene, carbon tetrachloride, chloroform, diethyl ether. Also, ethylene glycol, glycerol, nitromethane, pyridine, and toluene. Ethanol’s main use ...
Methylated spirits are mainly composed of ethyl alcohol, otherwise known as ethanol. Other additives in methylated spirit, such as methanol, isopropyl alcohol, acetone, and other substances which make it toxic to deter people from drinking it. ...
Are hexane and methylene chloride miscible or immiscible? Explain. Why does fatty acids solubility decrease in a non-polar solvent (such as benzene)? What is the purpose of using a strong acid like sulphuric acid in fluorescence spectroscopy? Why is methanol a good solvent to recrystallize biphen...
Which of these would you expect to be more soluble in water: chloromethane, CH3Cl, or methanol, CH3OH? Explain. Are water and methylene chloride miscible or immiscible? Explain. Why is glucose soluble in water but is not soluble in hexane? Is KOH soluble in water? Explain. Is HC...
Similar results were reported by the thermoalkalophilic lipases from Bacillus thermocatenulatus where the activity of the lipases enhanced with the presence of polar solvents, 2-propanol [15]. In the presence of 25% of DMSO, methanol, xylene, n-hexane, octanol, 2-propanol, n-heptane and n-...
