Bottled water usually undergoes filtration processes rather than distillation because it contains essential minerals that affect the taste and nutritional value of the water. Distilled water, on the other hand, is entirely pure H20 because distillation removes all of its
Isopropyl alcohol, which is also known as isopropanol and propan-2-ol, comes in different grades and has a large variety of applications in many different industries. Key Takeaways Isopropyl alcohol has many uses; one of which is rubbing alcohol Ethyl alcohol
Distillation is the process of purifying a substance, whereby pure substances are extracted from a mixture.

Ethanoic acid is the active component of vinegar, and is also known as acetic acid. It’s the most important type of carboxylic acid because of its many practical uses, which range from culinary applications to industrial processes. Ethanoic acid can
Although isopropyl alcohol and denatured alcohol have some similar uses, they belong to different alcohol groups. As a result, they have distinct formulas, structures, reactions, and toxicity levels. In this post, we consider the differences between isopropyl alcohol and denatured
Although both USP (United States Pharmacopoeia) and EP water (European Pharmacopoeia) must meet strict quality standards, there are some important differences between them. USP purified water is commonly used to manufacture sterile medical products such as parenteral items, surgical dressings,
