100% ethanol ??
Hi All
First off, this is one cool site, lots of neat info.
Now for my question. I have to clear an argument with one of my students. I work in an emergency department and I was teaching them the role of different alcohol poisonings and how we treat the overdoses. Ever so long ago (15yrs) I was told in bio-chem that 100% ethanol was not possible due to the nature of the molecule. This student works in a lab and said that there was 100% ethanol available.
SO... is it possible? or is it really 98%'ish and for the sake of argument labs label it as 100 %
Thanks all
