I loko o ka nohona o kēia mau lā, ʻo ka waiʻona kekahi huahana maʻamau o ka hale i hiki ke loaʻa ma nā lumi kuke, nā kaola, a me nā wahi ʻaha kanaka ʻē aʻe. Eia naʻe, ʻo kahi nīnau e piʻi pinepine nei inā pahaisopropanolua like me ka waiona. ʻOiai pili lāua ʻelua, ʻaʻole like lāua. Ma kēia ʻatikala, e ʻimi mākou i nā ʻokoʻa ma waena o ka isopropanol a me ka waiʻona e hoʻopau i nā huikau.

ʻO Isopropanol, ʻike ʻia hoʻi ʻo ka isopropyl alcohol a i ʻole 2-propanol, he wai waihoʻoluʻu ʻole a hiki ke puhi ʻia. He ʻala maʻalahi kona ʻano a hoʻohana nui ʻia ma ke ʻano he solvent i nā noi ʻoihana like ʻole. Hoʻohana pinepine ʻia ʻo Isopropanol ma ke ʻano he mea hoʻomaʻemaʻe, disinfectant, a me ka preservative. I ke kaiāulu ʻepekema, hoʻohana ʻia ia ma ke ʻano he reactant i ka synthesis organik.

Ma ka ʻaoʻao ʻē aʻe, ʻo ka waiʻona, ʻoi aku ka nui o ka ethanol a i ʻole ka ethyl alcohol, ʻo ia ke ʻano o ka waiʻona e pili mau me ka inu ʻana. Hana ʻia ia e ka fermentation o nā kō i ka hū a ʻo ia ka mea nui o nā mea inu ʻona. ʻOiai ua hoʻohana ʻia ʻo ia ma ke ʻano he solvent a me ka mea hoʻomaʻemaʻe e like me isopropanol, ʻo kāna hana nui he lāʻau leʻaleʻa a me ka anesthetic.

ʻO ka ʻokoʻa nui ma waena o ka isopropanol a me ka waiʻona aia i ko lākou ʻano kemika. Loa'a ka Isopropanol i ka molecular formula o C3H8O, a'o ka ethanol he molecular formula o C2H6O. ʻO kēia ʻokoʻa o ka hoʻolālā e hoʻāla mai i ko lākou mau waiwai kino a me kemika. No ka laʻana, ʻoi aku ka ʻoi aku o ka isopropanol a me ka haʻahaʻa haʻahaʻa ma mua o ka ethanol.

Ma ke ʻano o ka hoʻohana ʻana i ke kanaka, he mea pōʻino ka isopropanol ke ʻai ʻia a ʻaʻole pono e ʻai ʻia no ka mea hiki ke hoʻopilikia i ke olakino. Ma ka ʻaoʻao ʻē aʻe, hoʻopau ʻia ka ethanol ma ka honua holoʻokoʻa i nā mea inu ʻawaʻawa ma ke ʻano he lubricant kaiapili a no kāna mau pono olakino i manaʻo ʻia i ka haʻahaʻa.

ʻO ka hōʻuluʻulu ʻana, ʻoiai ka isopropanol a me ka waiʻona e kaʻana like i kā lākou hoʻohana ʻana ma ke ʻano he solvents a me nā mea hoʻomaʻemaʻe, he mau mea ʻokoʻa lākou e pili ana i ko lākou ʻano kemika, waiwai kino, a me ka ʻai kanaka. ʻOiai ʻo ka ethanol kahi lāʻau lapaʻau i hoʻopau ʻia ma ka honua holoʻokoʻa, ʻaʻole pono e hoʻopau ʻia ka isopropanol no ka mea hiki ke hōʻeha i ke olakino kanaka.
