Are any what hydrogen bonds ethanol propanol butanol pentane methanol hexane?
Alcohols such as methanol, ethanol, propanol, butanol etc can have hydrogen bonds.
What are 5 solvents in organic solvent?
water, ethanol, methanol, isopropanol, butanol, kerosene and
What is ch3-ch2-ch2-ch2-ch2-ch2-ch2-oh?
1-Butanol
Which answer lists the substances in order of decreasing solubility in water?
Hexane < Butanol < Ethanol Octane < Carbon tetrachloride < Methanol
When did you start putting ethanol in petrol?
Ethanol or methanol can be added for gasoline, as biofuels. It is an alternative against continuous increasing oil prices.
Is ethanol or butanol a better fuel for a camp stove - Why?
Both of them will work. I'm going with ethanol because you can go to any hardware store in America and buy a can of "denatured alcohol," which is ethanol mixed with something to make it undrinkable (usually methanol, but they can use a lot of things, like Bitrex or gasoline). Butanol is harder to get. Additionally, it is likely that butanol will not burn clean. The extra carbon bonds require more oxygen to fully combust. You will probably end up with a lot of soot on your kettle and in your backpack, not to mention a nice chemical smell at your campsite.
What is a example of a solvent?
When a certain substance disolves into another, ex. a salt in water. Examples: water, ethanol, methanol, isopropanol, butanol, kerosene and many others.
Can Methanol be mixed with Antifreeze?
yes; but be careful... too much will damage your engine
Why ethanol and water are miscible?
They are polar molecules and can form Hydrogen bond among each other. For Alcohol, miscibility is lowered at higher chain. Moving from Methanol -> Ethanol -> Propanol is miscible but Butanol can dissolve at only 11%
What are the alcohols in which potassium fluoride is soluble?
Potassium fluoride (KF) is soluble in alcohols such as methanol (CH3OH), ethanol (C2H5OH), and isopropanol (C3H7OH). It forms strong hydrogen bonds with the oxygen atoms in the alcohol molecules, allowing for solubility.
What does the term fuel mean?
Flex fuel is a blend of gasoline and either ethanol or methanol. This combination of fuel is stored in one tank, just as traditional gas. An example of this fuel is E85, which is 85% ethanol and 15% gasoline.
Why methanol is added to ethanol?
To avoid misuse of ethanol for drinking purpose it is denatured with methanol.
