Chemical Compound of the Day: Ethyl Alcohol
It's very obvious if any ordinary person were to see it, that this is plainly an alcohol. It especially has the effects that a drunk person would have after drinking. Although, if a chemist or a specialist in this area were to see this compound they would think deep into the molecules what the description is and probably even more.
Ethyl alcohol is a burnable clear, colorless liquid with a sharp, burning taste and a wine-like odor. (I don't like the smell of wine.) Extra Info:
Formula: CH3CH2OH
Elements: Carbon, Hydrogen, Oxygen
Type: Organic
Fun Fact: Purell Hand Sanitizer contains 62% of this compound.
This is a simple overview of this compound.
