Best Answer

70% alcohol signifies the amount the alcohol present in 100 ml of the solution.

Considering the solvent to be water, 70% alcohol contains 70ml alcohol and 30ml water. Thus, the total comes out to 70 + 30 = 100ml. That's what the "%" signifies - (out of 100!)

What is 70 percent alcohol and what is 95 percent alcohol which is better to use and why?

70% alcohol means in hundred parts of it, 70 parts are pure alcohol, rest is water. 95% means 95 parts of pure alcohol in 100 parts, so 5 parts of water. It depends on the usage. As a solvent, 95% would be preferred. As antiseptic, both can be used, 75% being more common as medicinal spirit. For consumption, fairly dilute concentrations are preferred. Above 43% are rare so both the above concentrations are dangerous for consumption.
