Ethanol Definition and 110 Threads

Hello everyone, Does iodine specie change after diluting in ethanol 99%? I’m talking about I-, KI or other kinds of of iodine species. Or it stays in I2 form? I’m looking to make 1% I2 molecular iodine ethanol solution from iodine crystals. Would the ratio be 10 g per 1 liter? Thank you all for...

Dear everyone. I wish you all happy and healthy after this Covid pandemic.Last week i used ethanol mixed with raw materials, got the solution ( suppose ethanol + oil + wax +etc ). And I add water to that Ethanol Solution above with ratio 1/1...inside the mixing solution it formed a resin ( slime...

I was buying and studying the label on a bottle of alcohol spray and a bottle of liquid alcohol. Their ingredients were Ethanol(Alcohol) 75% and isopropyl alcohol(75%) respectively. Is there any difference?

I think the answer is D because both molecules can hydrogen bond with their OH groups, but the C=O bond in ethanoic acid is polar and contributes to dipole-dipole interactions. The solution says B is the correct answer, because ethanoic acid molecules strongly hydrogen bond so that most...

from table the standard enthalpy of ethanol is ##\Delta H°=-277 \frac{KJ}{mol}## the grams of ethanol are ##0,002 cm^3*0,79\frac {g}{cm^3}=1,58*10^{-3}g## and the moles are ##\frac{1,58*10^{-3}g}{(24,02+16,00+6,06)\frac g {mol}}= 3,43*10^{-5}##mol By proportionality, having already the...

If we put NaOH in water then it disassociates into ##OH^{-}## ions(hydroxyl ions) but if we put ##C_2H_5OH## in water it does not disassociates into ##OH^{-}## ions. What is the reason that ##NaOH## disassociates into ##OH^{-}## ions(hydroxyl ions) whereas ##C_2H_5OH## does not disassociate...

Hello, I was doing some research on enthalpy of water-ethanol mixtures at different ratios, and when looking at all the information graphed, I don't understand why it produces the trend line it does. Why doesn't it produce a 'quadratic' trend line? Shouldn't having a 10:90 water-ethanol exert...

Why is ethanol less dense than water if ethanol has a larger molecular weight. I think i heard it's something to do with water molecules being closer to each other. Why is this?

I have an idea that should work but I need some accurate numbers. If i mix 1 gallons of gasoline with 1 gallon of water then let is separate i should get approx 90% gas and 110% water that contains the alcohol. I think I can use less water but don't know how much less, 1 pint, 2 pints, 3...

I have been on a project for awhile now and it has to do with production of bio ethanol production from biomass,and also how to add water in ratio 60:40. i.e ethanol will be 60% while water will be 40% without separating. I have tried to mix water with ethanol in this ratio but it keeps...

I'm curious, in many flavors used in food (such as vanilla extract and other "natural flavors"), ethanol is used as a solvent to extract the flavors. Is this ethanol synthetic ethanol, or do companies normally get it from the wine/beer industries?

I'm testing Ammonium Bicarbonate in a fermentation process. Is it possible for Ammonium Bicarbonate to 'salt out' Ethanol? Compounds such as Sodium Carbonate and Ammonium Sulfate are able to salt out ethanol.

I was wondering, if ethanol is used in a food, as it commonly is with food flavorings (as a solvent), and that food is then dried out such that It is made into a powder or cereal or something, does all the ethanol completely evaporate? I know ethanol is very volatile and has a low boiling...

Hello The lower flammability point of ethanol is 3.5% v/v. How can I work out the max volume of ethanol in a specified space to be lower than the flammability point Eg If I have a 100l vessel 3.5% will be 3.5l of vapour in that 100l vessel that will make it ignitable - how can I convert 3.5 l of...

Hi everyone! So, something sort of weird happened in analytical lab and I was wanting some guidance. I was trying to determine the ethanol concentration in a 4 Loko, a red wine, and a beer through acid/base titration. I pipetted a little bit of a diluted alcohol sample into a small beaker and...

Hey, How do you know how many hydrogen bonds ethanol molecules will form with each other? I know there are 3 sites where H bonds could form (2 lone pairs on oxygen and the hydrogen) but with something like hydrogen fluoride, each molecule only forms 1 H bond on average so shouldn't something...

If you have a tank of water then the speed of sound is 1482 m/s. If you add ethanol, the speed of sound increases. This seems to be pretty linear with the % concentration of ethanol. why does ethanol (or propanol) increase the speed of sound? thanks
