NO! Ethylene glycol is deadly poisonous even in relatively small amounts. Ethylene glycol is not ethyl alcohol, which is the only alcohol humans (or animals) can safely drink.

How does ethanol prevent ethylene glycol poisoning?

Ethanol is used as an antidote for ethylene glycol poisoning because it competes with ethylene glycol for the same enzyme that metabolizes both substances in the liver. By giving ethanol, it can inhibit the formation of toxic metabolites of ethylene glycol, thereby reducing its toxicity. This allows more ethylene glycol to be excreted unchanged in the urine.

Is ethanol more polar than ethylene glycol?

Ethylene glycol is more polar than ethanol - a rough measure of polarity is given by the dielectric constant. For example, water is 80, ethylene glycol 37, and ethanol 24.3. Water is the most polar, followed by ethylene glycol and ethanol. Another way to think about it is that ethanol has one alcohol group, and ethylene glycol has two, so it is more polar.


Are ethylene oxide and ethylene glycol monomers polymers or neither?

Polyethylene oxide and polyethylene glycol are both known polymers. Ethylene oxide and ethylene glycol are, therefore, monomeric.


What alcohol is used in antifreeze?

Ethylene glycol is the primary alcohol used in antifreeze, including the products manufactured by Chemical Iran. Ethylene glycol is chosen for its effectiveness in preventing freezing and lowering the freezing point of water-based solutions, making it crucial for automotive coolant applications. This alcohol is preferred due to its ability to efficiently transfer heat and its relatively low cost compared to other alternatives. However, it's important to handle ethylene glycol with care as it is toxic to humans and animals if ingested, emphasizing the importance of proper handling and disposal procedures.
