What is the difference between chlorohexidine and alcohol?
In: Chemistry
Several of the atoms.
I’m kidding I’m not sure off the top of my head, but I assume chlorohexidine works differently than alcohol does to *pop* bacteria and kill them.
I know for sure Chlorohexadine is used in much lower concentrations than alcohol for disinfecting. A 4% Chloro solution won’t burn on a cut like a 70% isopropyl (or ethanol, or anything.) and of course you dont want to rinse your mouth with full concentration alcohols, and even so only ethanol goes in your mouth.
I apologize I’ve broken the rules, this is no answer. Im just hoping someone comes in and tells me how wrong I am.
