Methanol is CH3OH, ethanol is CH3CH2OH. Both are alcohols, ethanol has one carbon more (or a CH2 group more) and is less polar than methanol. Also ethanol has higher boiling point than methanol.
A fuel which is clean meaning that it does not produce CO2. Alternative fuels usually contain at least 85% of or more of ethanol, natural gas, compressed natural gas, LNG, LPG and hydrogen. These include biodiesel, bioalcohols (methanol, ethanol, and butanol), non fossil- methane from land fills chemicaly stored electricity from batteries and fuel cells
You are probably referring to ethylene and not ethanol. Fruits produce more ethylene as they age.
yes, it is much more soluble in ethanol than in water.
No, hexane is less dense than ethanol- hexane has a density of 0.6548g/mL and ethanol has a density of 0.789g/mL, so hexane will float on top of ethanol.
ethanol
This can be answered on many different levels. They both burn and give out a good amount of heat is probably the simplest. In more scientific terms, they both contain chemical energy which is released when they burn. More practically, they both ignite easily and burn quite cleanly.
Heyy I'm dum
Ethanol (C2H5OH) has a higher boiling point than methane (CH4) because it has stronger intermolecular forces, specifically hydrogen bonding, which requires more energy to overcome and boil. This results in a higher boiling point for ethanol compared to methane.
That should be carbon dioxide. What can be done is to produce engines that burn fuel more cleanly than exisiting ones and that are more environment friendly.
Ethanol, long an additive to gasoline, is by itself an alternate car fuel which burns more cleanly than fossil fuels. Most internal combustion engines, however, cannot burn pure ethanol so it is used as an additive. Biodiesel is similar, made from oils of plants such as soybeans or animal fats, then added to traditional diesel fuel. Hydrogen cells and electric batteries are other sources of alternative car fuels.
Possibilities:Higher proportion of ethanol in the fuelA lot of extra weight in the vehicle
Ethanol has a higher boiling point than methane because ethanol molecules are larger and have stronger intermolecular forces such as hydrogen bonding, making it more difficult for the molecules to break free from each other and vaporize.
Methane gives off more heat. Burning something is an oxidation reaction. Energy is released by forming more and more bonds between carbon and oxygen. Since methyl alcohol already has a C-O bond, it is already more oxidized than methane, so burning methyl alcohol releases less energy (heat) than burning methane (mole for mole).
The sun has methane, Helium etc.... type of gaseous surface. Which will burn may be more than a billion years.
Methanol is CH3OH, ethanol is CH3CH2OH. Both are alcohols, ethanol has one carbon more (or a CH2 group more) and is less polar than methanol. Also ethanol has higher boiling point than methanol.
Butanol is a better fuel for a camp stove because it has a higher energy content and burns more cleanly than ethanol. Butanol also has a lower risk of vaporizing and exploding, making it safer to use in outdoor settings.
