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 ...
Both flasks are submerged in a dry ice/acetone cooling bath (−78 °C) the temperature of which is being monitored by a thermocouple (the wire on the left). A cooling bath or ice bath , in laboratory chemistry practice, is a liquid mixture which is used to maintain low temperatures, typically between 13 °C and −196 °C.

Liquid N 2: Ethylene glycol-10 Ice: Acetone-10 1 to 1 ratio of acetone to ice. Liquid N 2: Cycloheptane-12 Dry ice: Benzyl alcohol-15 Dry ice: Ethylene glycol-15 Ice: Sodium chloride-20 1 to 3 ratio of salt ...
Turns out, rubbing alcohol has a much lower freezing point than water (128°F below 0), so it speeds up the melting process and prevents the surface from icing up in the future, Rossen says.
Sometimes called a weeping wing, [6] running wet, or evaporative system, these systems use a deicing fluid, typically based on ethylene glycol or isopropyl alcohol, to prevent ice forming and to break up accumulated ice on critical surfaces of an aircraft. [7]
A chemistry professor explains the science that makes salt a cheap and efficient way to lower freezing temperature.
A generous sprinkle of rock salt on sidewalks, driveways, roads, and bridges melts ice away by lowering the freezing point of water. A thin layer of water forms, causing the ice to break up.
