This is an old chestnut that is often used in magic shows as well as Chemistry demos. It can be easily demonstrated that alcohol burns in air by putting a few mls in an evaporating dish and lighting it. All students know that water puts out fires. A solution of half water and half alcohol however has some interesting properties. IF a dollar bill is soaked in a 50/50 solution and then ignited by a match, the dollar bill will catch fire but will not burn. This is because a 50/50 mixture still has enough alcohol to burn but there is enough water to wet the bill and keep it from catching fire.
