Ethanol Definition and 110 Threads

I did an experiment to calculate viscosities of various ethanol concentrations, 0% to 100% the graph is parabolic, and therefor the highest viscosity is 50% concentration i don't understand why, since seperately water and ethanol are closer to 1 centipoise well ethanol more and water less...

I have read that ethanol is produced by fermenting sugar, but I do not know what kind. I also read ethanol is produced by fermenting cellulose, which is correct? I've heard that ethanol can be produced from grass and newspaper, is there anything special you have to do to it? What crop/organic...

hey i seem to be having a lot of trouble with this type of question: Calculate the change in Gibbs energy of 35g of ethanol (mass density = 0.789g cm-3) when the pressure is increased isothermally from 1 atm to 3000 atm. in my notes i have that dG=V(Pf-Pi) and search up on the net that...

I think the idea is you are diluting the stock solution with ethanol...how do I calculate how much the concentration is in the solution X and Y? ignore those lines...I had to use those to line the data up.

Ethanol and water are completely miscible; that is, they dissolve in each other in all propertions: a) When the two substancse are mixed, is randomness increased or decreased? b) Head is liberated in the dissolving process. Does the tendency toward the minimum energy favour the separated...

I have been thinking about order 100% ethonal(^^OH) from a chemical supply on line. I know that i need to get undenatured/pure ethanol. What other kinds of contaiments way be present in ethanol (i.e. methanol?). Should i dilute it, I have had strong alchol before (151 proof). I know...

Anybody know of a good site or know off of the top of their heads how to make ethanol? Paden Roder

I was reading that ethanol can only be purified up to something like 95% by distillation and further purification calls for CaO. Why is this? Is CaO a drying agent? Why is it that you can't separate water completely from ethanol? Is it just not feasible without CaO, like the tiny amount of...

WHat reactions consume so much water in the digestion of ethanol?

People can drink ethanol and not have a problem, but other alcohols like methanol and propanol are very poisonous; why is that?
