Properties of Isopropyl Alcohol

Isopropyl alcohol is a compound with the formula C3H8O. Its structural formula can be written as CH3CHOCH3, to make it easier to understand.

‘Can You Drink Isopropyl Alcohol?’ – Risks & Hazards

Isopropyl alcohol (or rubbing alcohol) is an entirely different chemical to drinking alcohol and therefore should not be consumed. Problems caused by drinking isopropyl include headaches and dizziness, nausea and vomiting and in some cases, death. Overdoses can be identified by the acetone-like fruity odour on the breath.Another concern about this compound is its flammability. In practical terms, isopropyl alcohol is denser than air and is flammable between 2 and 13% in air. It can also form peroxides, which may explode in high concentrations.For these reasons isopropyl alcohol should be stored in a well ventilated space, away from any open flames or heat sources. Safe handling procedures must be followed at all times when handling this compound, with protective clothing being worn at all times.
