Rubbing alcohol or isopropanol can be described by the chemical formula C3H7OH. One milliliter of isopropanol has a mass of 0.76 g, so its density is 0.76 g/mL. Isopropanol is often used as a cleaner or a disinfectant and evaporates when placed on warm objects. However, caution must be taken when using isopropanol, because it is also highly flammable. Which of the following is a chemical property of isopropanol?
