Stove alcohol - how dangerous?
In article . net,
says...
A molecule of alcohol does not contain a molecule of water.
A molecule of ethyl alcohol has two carbon atoms, six hydrogen atoms and one
oxygen atom. That oxygen atom is linked to one hydrogen and one carbon. When
it breaks the bond with the carbon it links to another hydrogen making H2O
from elements that are part of the alcohol molecule. So it does not contain a
molecule of water per se, just the components.
