Absolutely, recent painstaking scientific research has showed that 70% ethanol is the same as 70% ethanol.

To find the total volume of 70% ethanol, you need to divide the volume of pure ethanol (1600 ml) by the concentration of ethanol (0.70). This gives you a total volume of approximately 2285.71 ml of 70% ethanol.
No, 70 percent ethanol is not effective in disinfecting prions. Prions are highly resistant to common disinfection methods, including alcohol-based solutions. Specialized procedures involving harsh chemicals or autoclaving at high temperatures are required to effectively deactivate prions.
Diluted alcohols like 70% ethanol disrupt cell membranes more effectively because the presence of water helps denature proteins and dissolve lipids in the membrane. This allows the alcohol to penetrate the membrane more easily and destroy the cell. Pure alcohol can evaporate too quickly and may not interact with the membrane effectively.
Ethanol is totally burned.
To increase the concentration of ethanol from 80% to 100%, you can use a process called distillation. By distilling the 80% ethanol solution, you can separate the ethanol from the water and other impurities, resulting in a higher concentration of ethanol.
