The common name for 2-propanol is isopropyl alcohol. It is also known as rubbing alcohol. 2-prpanol is often added to gasolines in Canada to prevent ice from forming in fuel lines. Otherwise, ice forms as a result of condensed water that is naturally present in the air. Draw the molecule Describe why it can mix with both a polar substance, such as water, and non-polar substances, such as the alkanes ingasoline. What precautions could one take to prevent water from condensing in gas tanks?

2-propanol is also known as isopropyl alcohol.
Rule of solubility is "Like dissolves Like " that means polar solute is soluble in polar solvent and non-polar solute is soluble in non-polar solvent.
To know why 2-propanol can mix with both a polar substance, such as water, and non-polar substances, such as the alkanes in gasoline, we have to see structure of 2-propanol.
