Ulwelo olungenambala olucacileyo. Ixubene namanzi, i-ether, i-methanol, i-acetone, i-chloroform, i-carbon tetrachloride, i-ethylene chloride, i-methyl acetate, i-ethyl acetate, isisombululo se-acetamide kunye nee-hydrocarbons ezininzi ezingaxutywanga, kodwa kungekhona nge-hydrocarbons egcweleyo. Inokunyibilikisa ezinye iityuwa ze-inorganic, ezifana ne-nitrate yesilivere, i-lithium nitrate kunye ne-magnesium bromide. Inokwenza umxube we-azeotropic ngamanzi (aqukethe i-16% yamanzi), kunye ne-azeotropic point ye-76 ℃. Ukutsha, umphunga kunye nomoya unokwenza umxube oqhumayo, onokubangela ukutsha kunye nokudubula kwimeko yomlilo ovulekileyo, ubushushu obuphezulu okanye ukudibana ne-oxidant. Inokusabela ngamandla kunye ne-oxidant. Iphendula ngobundlobongela kunye ne-sulfuric acid, i-oleum, i-chlorosulfonic acid, i-perchlorate, njl.
