One of the most sought-after terms is alcohol density.<\/p>\n

WHAT IS THE DENSITY OF ALCOHOL<\/h2>\n

The density<\/a> is the measure of the unit mass in the unit volume. To define the alcohol density<\/strong>When we talk about alcohol we refer to a group of organic compounds that have carbon in their structure and some of the hydrogen ions are replaced by the -OH group. We have alcohols of different chain sizes. For example, methyl alcohol or methanol (which comes from methane), ethyl alcohol or ethanol and propyl alcohol or propanol, which comes from propane. Alcohols have the chemical formula\u00a0Cn<\/sub>H2n+1<\/sub>OH<\/b> and therefore, depending on which alcohol we are talking about, it will have one density or another.<\/p>\n

ETHANOL DENSITY<\/h3>\n

The alcohol we most commonly use is the ETHANOL,<\/strong>\u00a0o ethyl alcohol,<\/strong> of formula\u00a0CH3<\/sub>-CH2<\/sub>-OH. <\/strong>It is the alcohol we have at home and is also widely used in industry. The density of ethanol is\u00a0789 kg\/m\u00b3<\/strong>or 0,789Kg\/L<\/strong>. Ethanol is therefore lighter than water and would float on water. See densities of other products<\/a>.<\/p>\n

METHANOL DENSITY<\/h3>\n

The chemical compound\u00a0methanol<\/b>, o methyl alcohol<\/strong>is in simpler alcohol. At room temperature it is a light liquid, which is used as an antifreeze in cars, dye solvent and fuel. Its chemical formula is CH3<\/sub>OH. The methane density is 791.8Kg\/m\u00b3<\/strong>, o 0,79Kg\/L<\/strong>.<\/p>\n
