Hydrochloric acid (HCl)

Description

Used in drug synthesis, formulation, or extraction:

Ethanol (C₂H₅OH) is a clear, colorless, and highly flammable liquid commonly used as a solvent in laboratories, pharmaceuticals, cosmetics, and chemical industries. It effectively dissolves a wide range of organic compounds, including oils, resins, and fats, making it ideal for formulations, extractions, and chemical reactions. Ethanol is miscible with water and many organic solvents, offering versatility in both aqueous and non-aqueous systems. It is valued for its relatively low toxicity compared to other organic solvents, rapid evaporation, and ability to produce uniform solutions.
