Ethanol is used extensively as a solvent in the manufacture of varnishes and perfumes; as a preservative for biological specimens; in the preparation of essences and flavorings; in many medicines and drugs; Ethanol/ethyl alcohol is also used as a disinfectant and in tinctures (e.g., tincture of iodine); and as a fuel and gasoline additive.
Dosage
Industrial Usage
Iodoform test aids in distinguishing ethanol and methanol. For iodoform reaction to take place the compound should contain CH3-CHR-OH, where R can be H or alkyl group. Ethanol when reacts with iodine in the presence of sodium hydroxide gives yellow precipitate.Ethanol has one methyl group linked to the carbon which is attached to hydroxyl group hence gives a positive result to iodoform test. Methanol does not give a positive iodoform test as they do not have a methyl group attached to the carbon which contains the OH group.
