Differentiate between absolute alcohol and denatured alcohol.

Open in App
Solution

Absolute alcohol is nothing but pure alcohol, free from any impurities.

In order to prevent the misuse of ethanol in industries, it is made unfit for drinking by adding poisonous substances to it like methanol. Dyes are also added to colour the alcohol blue so that it can be identified easily. This is called denatured alcohol.
