Did You Know?
Ethanol has been used as a laboratory solvent for centuries due to its unique ability to dissolve both polar and nonpolar substances. At 95% concentration, ethanol forms an azeotrope with water, meaning it cannot be further purified by simple distillation alone—a concept often taught in physical chemistry. In experimental science, ethanol’s clean-burning nature and rapid evaporation make it invaluable for demonstrations involving combustion, sterilization, and solvent behavior.
