What Is Glycerin Used For?
With three hydroxyl groups on a three-carbon chain, glycerol is the standard example of a polyhydric alcohol. Students compare it with ethanol for solubility in water, viscosity and boiling behaviour, and use the freshly prepared copper(II) hydroxide test, in which glycerol dissolves the blue precipitate to give a deep blue solution typical of neighbouring hydroxyl groups.
Glycerol also features in lessons on fats and soaps, since it is released when oils are saponified with alkali. It absorbs moisture from the air, so keep the bottle tightly closed, wipe drips from the neck to stop the cap sticking, and measure it by mass or with a wide-tipped pipette because it flows slowly.
