What is the density of ethanol?

Answer by  reliable80 (125)

Pure ethanol has a density of 0.789 g/cm^3. Ethanol is a simple alcohol with the formula CH3CH2OH. While ethanol has many household and industrial uses, most people know it as the key ingedient in alcoholic beverages.

Ethanol is less dense than water. This is because it does not form as many hydrogen bonds. Its density is a value of .789 grams per cubic centimeter. Compare this to the density of water, which is 1 gram per cubic centimeter.

The density of a substance depends on both temperature and pressure. At room temperature and pressure (25 degrees Celsius and 1 atmosphere) the density of ethanol is about 0.785 grams per cubic centimeter. You can find tables online and in chemistry reference books for densities at different temperature and pressure combinations.
