    This document summarizes the physical and chemical properties of ethanol, methanol, and glycerol. Ethanol and methanol are both liquids that are miscible with water and have an alcoholic odor, while glycerol is odorless, colorless, and also miscible with water. When reacted with sodium hydroxide, sodium hydroxide 30%, or concentrated sulfuric acid, ethanol and methanol show no visible changes, while glycerol shows no reaction. When heated, all three substances will boil and evaporate without leaving a residue.
