What is the alcohol in antifreeze called?
The most basic / simplest is Methanol Useful alternative #1 is Ethylene Glycol Useful alternative #2 is Propylene Glycol There are also non-glycol, "Organic Acid Technology" (OAT) antifreezes used in some automotive applications.
Is ethylene glycol halal?
Ethylene glycol is not of animal origin !
Is ethylene glycol a polymer?
no, but polyethylene glycol is.
What is the reversal drug for ethylene glycol?
The reversal drug for ethylene glycol poisoning is fomepizole. It works by blocking the enzyme alcohol dehydrogenase, which prevents the formation of toxic metabolites that cause the harmful effects of ethylene glycol ingestion. Fomepizole is typically administered in hospital settings under the supervision of healthcare professionals.
The hazardous component in most antifreeze is?
Methanol(otherwise known as wood alcohol) and ethylene glycol are the two toxic components in antifreeze. Methanol and ethylene glycol are both acted upon by alcohol dehydrogenase in the cell cytoplasm. This converts these molecules into toxic compounds like formaldehyde and formic acid. Before the advent of fomepizole (an alcohol dehydrogenase blocker), alcohol was given as a treatment for antifreeze ingestion because it competed with methanol and ethylene glycol for alcohol dehydrogenase. Methanol can cause blindness and death. Ethylene glycol crystallizes within the kidney and can cause renal failure and death. Hope that helps.

Is ethylene glycol conductive?
No, ethylene glycol is not conductive.
Is ethylene glycol an electrolyte?
No, it is an alcohol mainly used for antifreeze and refrigeration/coolant.
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 ethylene glycol halal?

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.
Is Di-ethylene glycol a Multihydricalcohol?
no, you are mistaking di-ethylene for di-ethyline , hope this helps
What is the color of ethylene-glycol?
It is clear. If it is at room temperature, and 100% Ethylene glycol is clear.
Is ethylene glycol a polymer?
no, but polyethylene glycol is.
Why are methyl alcohol and ethylene glycol toxic to humans?
Anything that enters your mouth gets broken down into basic products that the body can use for energy - or get rid of. This is called metabolism. Ethanol (alcohol you drink), methanol (same thing as methyl alcohol) (wood alcohol) and ethylene glycol (anti-freeze) are all processed in the same way in the body. Ethylene glycol and methanol when they are processed are broken down into really bad products that are poisonous to the body. Ethanol (drinking alcohol) just gets broken down into products that cause a hangover. If someone has ingested ethylene glycol or methanol, making them drink ethanol would delay the creation of those bad/poisonous products that are created in the body - and they definitely have to go to the hospital to get rid of the ethylene glycol or methanol in a different way then there body processing it and creating those poisonous products.
