Should we expect any sort of reaction between, C2H5OH and Dental Amalgam?
What about C2H5OH and Mercury. If they can't engage in a chemical reaction, what would the result be?

Thank you so so much.

[discodermolide]

They should not react.
If there is no reaction there will be no result.

[xeebexa]

Thank you so much. But can you please xplain why they don't react?

[discodermolide]

There is nothing to explain, they do not react.

I mean why is it that sodium and water react, but Ethanol and mercury don't? My question is more like, based on what facts do you say that?

[discodermolide]

You cannot compare sodium and mercury. Mercury is a quite an inert metal.
Furthermore it they did react all your fillings would fall out with each glass of vodka.

I base my answer(s) on my experience and knowledge and a bit of common sense!

I totally respect that. Thank you, so much, for your huge help. I was really stressed out, and know you have made me calm. Thank you. I hope you were not offended.

[discodermolide]

No I was not offended at all. No need to get stressed out, don't panic

You will never ever believe in a million years, how many times my dearest and closest friends have said the same thing to me. Like: Hey, there is no need to panic, caaaaaalm dooown!
But that is just me, I can not control my stress.

Thank you any ways, more than what words can say.

@xeebexa

Worst case try some of that  C2H5OH. Might help.

Excuse me, but the package of that C2H5OH says 98%. Don't you think it might do a little damage?

[discodermolide]

Don't drink that!

Oh. Ok. What makes you think it will do a little damage?

Anyways, there's only one real way to find out..

[discodermolide]

If it says 98% it is probably denatured alcohol. This contains substances to make it unsuitable to drink. For example, methanol, or pyridine, cyclohexane and so on.
Do not drink it.
