runasyrst Posted September 30, 2018 Share Posted September 30, 2018 I want to mix olive oil in alcohol but when I added and try to mix them then It's not mixing and generating bubbles, Please describe me proper method to mix any oil in alcohol, Thanks.

John Cuthber Posted September 30, 2018 Share Posted September 30, 2018 Olive oil doesn't mix with alcohol. You could try a different solvent like isopropanol. What are you trying to achieve? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Then methanol and isopropanol are definitely not what you should use.. Smell of isopropanol is causing headaches and vomits. And that's just the beginning. "Isopropyl alcohol and its metabolite, acetone, act as central nervous system (CNS) depressants,[29] and around 15 g of isopropyl alcohol can have a toxic effect on a 70-kg human if left untreated.[30] Poisoning can occur from ingestion, inhalation, or skin absorption. Symptoms of isopropyl alcohol poisoning include flushing, headache, dizziness, CNS depression, nausea, vomiting, anesthesia, hypothermia, low blood pressure, shock, respiratory depression, and coma.[29] Overdoses may cause a fruity odor on the breath as a result of its metabolism to acetone.[31] Isopropyl alcohol does not cause an anion gap acidosis but it produces an osmolal gap between the calculated and measured osmolalities of serum, as do the other alcohols.[29]" Quote from https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Isopropyl_alcohol Are you reading references that we're giving you at all? Part of the answers for your many questions, can be found on Wikipedia pages of compounds that you want to use, straight away.. ps. IMHO, you should not use (on this forum) word "alcohol" rather "ethanol". Alcohol is too ambiguous. There are many alcohols, many of them toxic and poisons (including ethanol, but it's large lethal dose in comparison to the others).

studiot Posted October 7, 2018 Share Posted October 7, 2018 (edited) Whilst there are doubtless those sensitive to isopropyl alcohol, I don't think it is as dangerous as Sensei thinks. It is the normal active substance in antisceptic wipes (around70% is common), otherwise known as rubbing alcohol. As such it is rubbed onto the skin and even into puncture wounds. It's most dangerous characteristic is probably that it is inflammable. Edited October 7, 2018 by studiot spelling Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My experience of influence of isopropanol is from dry ice Cloud Chambers.. To run CC once there is used 5-20 mL of isopropanol. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Most of the essential oils used in perfume are much more toxic than than ethanol or isopropanol. 1 hour ago, Sensei said: On 9/30/2018 at 1:10 PM, runasyrst said: Ans: I want to make fragrance. Fragrance of what? Did you mean perfumes instead? Use of the word "fragrance" in that way is perfectly legitimate. You are not in a position to lecture people on use of English.

There must be instructions online for doing this sort of thing, for example: https://www.google.com/search?q=make+your+own+fragrance+with+essential+oils And there are probably more relevant forms (hobby/craft forums for example) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
