Why do people become blind on drinking denatured alcohol?

Question

Please answer in detail.

Answer 1

DENATURED ALCOHOL KILLS ALL LIVING CELLS AND THEN PETRIFIES. AND PRESERVES..... MAKING THEM SCIENCE SAMPLES WITH NO NATURE......DE NATURED....MEANING NO LIFE....NO DETAILS SORRY

Answer 2

Its no longer un-denatured . likely reads UN denatured alcohol or UN/NA denatured alcohol and is a flammable, poisonous ,solvent. imagine it has to do with a shipping designation & warning signs on automobiles utilized by technique of the United countries or dept of transportation to be utilized in North u . s . a . of america. might want to search for HAZMAT web pages. Used to purchase bulk denatured alcohol for furn stripping organization.

Answer 3

Two main type of alcohol are ethyl-alcohol ethanol (CH3CH2OH) and methyl-alcohol methanol (CH3OH). their prefix show the number of carbons on the chain before the alcohol base. (meth-1 eth-2 prop-3 but-4)

Ethanol is metabolised in liver and is not directly toxic for amounts processable by liver but the metabolits of methanol are toxic in nature and especially neuro-toxic with very low tolerance.

Of the alcohols produced, ethanol is particularly useful in industrial applications because of its relatively high affinity for both water and organic compounds. In order to reduce the need for strict control and heavy taxation on industrially produced ethanol, the alcohol is denatured. Denaturing is a process of adding other compounds to the ethanol to render it unfit for consumption. Denaturants are selected to give the ethanol a disagreeable taste or odor and in some cases a distinctive color. In some cases the substances added are toxic and produce gastric disturbances upon ingestion and/or other unpleasant symptoms. A large number of different "denaturants" are utilized dependent upon the use for which the ethanol is intended.

All beverage alcohol and much of that used in industry is formed through fermentation of a variety of products including grain such as corn, potato mashes, fruit juices, and beet and cane sugar molasses. Fermentation is an enzymatically anaerobic controlled transformation of an organic compound. With respect to alcohol, we are referring to the conversion of sugars to ethanol by microscopic yeasts in the absence of oxygen. The equation for the fermentation of glucose is:

C6H1206 --> 2CH3CH2OH + 2CO2

Answer 4

Typically, ethanol (grain alcohol) is denatured using methanol (wood alcohol) to render it undrinkable.

Methanol metabolizes into formic acid and formaldehyde which destroy the optic nerve.

Answer 5

Different poisons attack different areas.

People enjoynig poisons find some are more self-limiting than others.

When making 'bathtub' gin avoid Zinc galvenized pails and copper coils with solder...

it is a chemistry thingy...

PS thx Loren(2CO2) that explains the bubbles...

Answer 6

Methanol attacks the neuro-optical system. Isopropyl attacks the digestive system. All the alcohols attack the brain and liver in general.

Answer 7

main reason is the presence of ethanol (ethyl alcohol) in it.

Answer 8

it contain Metanol
