What Is Alcohol for Burning Used For?
Poured into a spirit lamp, this alcohol gives a small, steady flame for warming test tubes, heating water on a tripod and gauze, melting wax in simple heat experiments and flaming an inoculating loop in microbiology. Schools without piped gas rely on it as their everyday bench heat source, and it is equally useful as a backup when gas burners are unavailable.
The liquid is flammable, so fill lamps only when they are cold and extinguished, use a small funnel to avoid drips on the outside of the lamp, and wipe up any spill before relighting. Keep the container tightly closed in a cool, ventilated chemical store away from open flames, and label it clearly: denatured alcohol is not for drinking or internal use.
