Question

what are vinegar,formalin and denatured alcohol?

Answer 1

Hey!

Vinegar: It is a substance that is used as a preservative in food materials like Pickles to keep them fresh for a long time. It is a compound of carbon called Acetic Acid ( CH₃COOH ) which is mixed in water with a fixed percentage of
5% - 8%. 

Formalin: It is a compound made of carbon with a molecular formula of CH₂O. It is the first member of the functional group Aldehyde ( CHO ) with IUPAC name as Formaldehyde. The solution of CH₂0 in water with a fixed percentage of 35% - 40% is called Formalin. It is used for preserving Biological specimens and other Biological Instruments used for surgery.

Denatured Alcohol: Alcohol is a compound of carbon with molecular formula C₂H₅OH. It is used in the field of medicine and industries for various purposes in small proportions. But Ethanol, when mixed with alcohol, gives us Alcohol which makes us sleepy and dizzy and prevents the brain's cerebellum from functioning. Hence to prevent such actions of drinking it, Industries add some amount of Methanal and dyes to keep it poisonous to avoid consumption of it. The colour of that alcohol is mostly blue in colour.

Effects of Drinking it :

1. Loss of Eyesight permanently

2. Damage to Liver

3. Can cause Brain Death

$\textbf{What are the uses of Vinegar ?}$
Vinegar is very helpful in preserving foods for the long time and in flavorings too.


●》》$\textbf{What is Formalin ?}$
Formalin is a mixture of formaldehyde HCHO or CH2O in the water. In the mixture of HCHO in water,percentage can vary from 35-40 %.

$\textbf{How is Formaldehyde prepared ?}$
Formaldehyde is prepared by the oxidation of methanol CH3OH.

$\textbf{What are the uses of Formalin ?}$
Formalin is used as an antiseptic agent as well as in preserving biological specimen like fishes etc.


●》》$\textbf{What is denatured alcohol ?}$
When we add some impurities like a poisonous,bad smelling and tasting substaces in ethanol C2H6O to make it undrinkable or unconsumable,the resultant product is called denatured alcohol.

$\textbf{How is denatured alcohol made ?}$
It is made when we add few denaturing substances like pyridine or methanol in ethanol.

$\textbf{What are the uses of Denatured alcohol ?}$
Denatured alcohol is used as a cleaning agent, camping stoves fuel as well as carpenters use it on woods to remove unwanted paint too.
