Is rubbing alcohol and isopropyl alcohol the same?

Answer 1

1. Isopropyl alcohol (2-propanol) differs from rubbing alcohol in that rubbing alcohol contains a combination of chemicals, but isopropyl alcohol (2-propanol) is not.
2. Under normal settings, isopropyl alcohol is miscible with water and stable.
3. Denatured alcohol, such as rubbing alcohol, is a form of denatured alcohol. It contains 70-95 percent ethanol and a few additional ingredients. As a result, it is extremely dangerous and should not be consumed.
