Isopropyl alcohol, also known as isopropanol, is a colorless, volatile and flammable liquid. It has a chemical formula of C3H8O: it has three carbon (C) atoms, eight hydrogen (H) atoms and one oxygen (O) atom. Its chemical formula can also be written as: C3H7OH, CH3CHOHCH3 or (CH3)2CHOH.
Isopropyl alcohol is an organic compound exhibiting multiple chemical properties. First, it is miscible with water due to the strong hydrophilic nature of its hydroxyl group (-OH). Second, isopropyl alcohol readily undergoes oxidation reactions, converting into corresponding ketone compounds. Additionally, it reacts with various substances such as acids, bases, and aldehydes. These properties enable its extensive applications in the chemical industry, including as a solvent and reactant.
- Appearance: Colorless transparent liquid with a mixed odor similar to ethanol.
- Solubility: Miscible with water, ethanol, diethyl ether, and most organic solvents, making it an excellent solvent.
- Volatility: Highly volatile with a boiling point of approximately 82.4℃, lower than water and ethanol. This property facilitates rapid drying in numerous applications.
It exhibits typical alcohol properties, undergoing oxidation, esterification, dehydration, and other reactions.
82.5℃ (180.5℃F) (). Weighted average: 87.75℃ (189.9℃F) Melting Point: May start to solidify at -88.5℃ (-127.3℃F) based on data for: Isopropyl alcohol.
