Ethanol, also called ethyl alcohol, pure alcohol, grain alcohol, or drinking alcohol, is a volatile, flammable, colorless liquid. It is a psychoactive drug, best known as the type of alcohol found in alcoholic beverages and in modern thermometers. Ethanol is one of the oldest recreational drugs known to man. In common usage, it is often referred to simply as alcohol. Ethanol is abbreviated as... Read enhanced Wikipedia article

Results for "ethanol produces halides"

Ethanol Ethanol reacts with hydrogen halides to produce ethyl halides such as ethyl chloride and ethyl bromide:

Ethanol Ethyl halides can also be produced by reacting ethanol with more specialized halogenating agents, such as thionyl chloride for preparing ethyl chloride, or phosphorus tribromide for preparing ethyl bromide.

Results for "ethanol causes die"

Alcohol Depending upon the dose and the regularity of its consumption, ethanol can cause acute respiratory failure or death.

Alcohol fuel However, ethanol that is derived from petroleum should not be considered safe for consumption as this alcohol contains about 5% methanol and may cause blindness or death.

Results for "ethanol causes enhancement"

Nitrazepam Alcohol (ethanol) in combination with nitrazepam may cause a synergistic enhancement of the hypotensive properties of both benzodiazepines and alcohol.

Results for "ethanol causes acidosis"
