Alcool NS Spécial 95% 3 Liters - Alcohol Liquor FAQs
1. Why don’t 3 litres of alcohol weigh 3 kg?
The weight of a liquid depends not only on its volume but also on its density.
Water has a density of 1 kg/L, meaning that 3 litres of water weigh 3 kg.
However, alcohol (ethanol) has a density of 0.79 kg/L, so 3 litres of alcohol weigh approximately 2.37 kg, not 3 kg.
2. What kind of alcohol does this bottle contain?
The alcohol in this bottle is food-grade ethanol (ethyl alcohol), the same type found in alcoholic beverages such as wine, beer, and spirits. It does not contain denatured alcohol or industrial-use alcohol.
3. Why is the weight of alcohol lower than that of other liquids?
Alcohol has a lower density than water. Therefore, the same volume of alcohol will always be lighter than water or other higher-density liquids.
4. How can I verify this information?
We recommend searching for documentation on the density of alcohol and water on Google, where you can confirm this difference through various sources.
5. Does the total weight include the container?
No, the total weight listed refers only to the content (alcohol), not the weight of the plastic container.
6. Can this alcohol be used to make limoncello, tinctures, or other preparations?
Yes, this alcohol is perfect for making homemade liqueurs like limoncello, herbal tinctures, extracts, and other culinary preparations.
Always make sure to follow the correct proportions and use high-quality ingredients to achieve the best results. Also, ensure that your preparation is for personal use only, as regulations prohibit the sale of homemade alcohol without a licence
