Isopropyl alcohol (IUPAC name propan-2-ol and also called isopropanol or 2-propanol) is a colorless, flammable, organic compound with a pungent alcoholic odor. [9]Isopropyl alcohol, an organic polar molecule, is miscible in water, ethanol, and chloroform, demonstrating its ability to dissolve a wide range of substances including ethyl cellulose, polyvinyl butyral, oils, alkaloids, and natural ...
Alcohol (usually isopropyl alcohol or rubbing alcohol), effective for cleaning heads and guide rollers. Acetone, an effective solvent although it may damage plastics. Amyl nitrite and other nitrites marketed as video head cleaners. Xylene, an effective solvent although it may damage plastics.
Isopropyl rubbing alcohols contain from 50% to 99% by volume of isopropyl alcohol, the remainder consisting of water. Boiling points vary with the proportion of isopropyl alcohol from 80 to 83 °C (176 to 181 °F); likewise, freezing points vary from −32 to −50 °C (−26 to −58 °F). [6] Surgical spirit BP boils at 80 °C (176 °F). [7]
Isopropyl palmitate is the ester of isopropyl alcohol and palmitic acid. [2] It is an emollient , moisturizer , thickening agent , and anti-static agent . [ 3 ] The chemical formula is CH 3 (CH 2 ) 14 COOCH(CH 3 ) 2 .
Isopropyl chloride is an organic compound with the chemical formula (CH 3) 2 CHCl. It is a colourless to slightly yellow, volatile , flammable liquid with a sweet, ether-like (almost like petroleum) odour.
This compound is commercially available. Industrially, it is prepared by the reaction between isopropyl alcohol and aluminium, or aluminium trichloride: 2 Al + 6 iPrOH → 2 Al(O-i-Pr) 3 +3H 2 AlCl 3 + 3 iPrOH → Al(O-i-Pr) 3 + 3 HCl. The procedure entails heating a mixture of aluminium, isopropyl alcohol, with a small amount of mercuric chloride.
This page contains tables of azeotrope data for various binary and ternary mixtures of solvents. The data include the composition of a mixture by weight (in binary azeotropes, when only one fraction is given, it is the fraction of the second component), the boiling point (b.p.) of a component, the boiling point of a mixture, and the specific gravity of the mixture.
