Heating a mixture of ethanol and water would produce a mixture of water vapor (steam) and ethanol vapor. Depending on the composition of the mixture, there could be more ethanol vapor than steam in the resulting gas mixture.
hot ones...
Ethanol can be produced by:Anaerobic fermentation of natural sugar (beets, cane, starch) done by yeastPetrochemically by acid catalized reaction of ethene with water
If you raise the temperature, the endothermic reaction will increase to use up the extra heat, therefore producing less percentage yield of ethanol and more of ethene and steam.
I dont think so because ethanol, containing an OH group is readily soluble in water.
I hesitate to say that it literally can't be done, but ethanol dissolves things that water doesn't and the whole point of steam distillation is that the thing you're steam distilling needs to not be very soluble in water, so at best there's no real benefit from adding ethanol and at worst you can't separate your desired product out of the ethanol/water mix.If you're not trying to separate it out, then ... you're not really doing a "steam distillation", you're doing an extraction. Gin, for example, is made by allowing the vapors from an ordinary distillation of ethanol/water (to increase ethanol content) to pass over/through substances like juniper berries to pick up some of the essential oils from these and give the resultant product flavor.
Well ethanol is burned according to the equation: C2H5OH(g) + 3 O2(g) → 2 CO2(g) + 3 H2O(l); (ΔHr = −1409 kJ/mol) where delta h (-1409 kJ/mol) amount of energy given off per one mole of ethanol which is combusted. There are two ways to harness the energy given off: Internal combustion engine -like a car the explosion caused by ethanol and oxygen is used to move a cylinder. But for electricity the ethanol will be burned and the heat used to heat water until it turns to steam. The pressure generated by the steam is used to turn a turbine which rotates magnets around a coil of wire which generates electricity! hope it helps!

The product is Ethanol. Phosphoric acid is the catalyst here. The equation for the reaction is: C2H4 + H2O -----> C2H5OH
Athene + steam = ethanol (this process is call hydrogenation) C2H4 + H2O = C2H5OH as it is a reversible reaction so if you carry out dehydration process of Ethanol you will have Athene Ethanol = Athene + Water
Fermentation is the process of making alcohol (ethanol) by mixing sugar and yeast in a barell: sugar + yeast ----> ethanol + carbon dioxide Hydration is another process of making alcohol (ethanol) by heating water and ethene at a temperature of around 300 degrees celcius under high pressure: ethene + steam -----> ethanol One big difference between fermentation and hydration is that fermentation pproduces the bi-product cabon dioxide whereas hydration doesn't. Another difference coulkd be that the reaction of hydration happens a lot faster than that of fermentation.
If starting with ethane C2H6 the hydrogens must be reduced to form C2H4 (ethylene) creating a double bond between the carbons (H2C=CH2) This compound (ethylene) is exposed to concentrated sulfuric acid (breaking the bond) and forming C2H3SO4H then water to substitute an OH group on one carbon to form H3CH2OH (ethanol) Alternately the ethylene may be catalyzed by phosphoric acid on a substrate to hydrolize directly to form ethanol.
Ethanol only.

It is not advisable to heat ethanol with a Bunsen flame because of the low boiling point and its volatile nature. Ethanol is also flammable, and therefore it is best to heat ethanol on a heat plate or steam condenser.
