Isopropyl Alcohol

Introduction

Isopropyl alcohol is a colorless liquid known for its high volatility and relatively low boiling point. It is completely miscible with most solvents, including water, ethanol, and chloroform, and can dissolve a wide range of non-polar compounds, demonstrating its versatility as a solvent. In addition, it is a flammable substance and reacts with oxidizing agents to produce water and acetone.
