Which of the following substances is suitable solvent for perfumes?
Answer Details
Ethanol is a suitable solvent for perfumes. Ethanol is a type of alcohol that can dissolve various types of compounds, including oils and aromatic compounds, which are the main components of perfumes. This property of ethanol makes it an ideal solvent for perfumes. In contrast, benzene and turpentine are toxic and not safe for use in perfumes. Water, on the other hand, is a polar solvent and is not suitable for dissolving non-polar aromatic compounds present in perfumes.
