What are the enviromental effects of using ethanol methanol and propanol as a fuel?

Ethanol, methanol and proponal are all alcohol based fuels. These fuels are good for the environment because they are slower burning fuels, which make it easier to gain energy from. These fuels also do not need fossil fuels to be created, they can be derived from water and carbon dioxide.


Which is the better fuel if it changed mass Wood methanol or ethanol?

all fuels are better


What does ethanol and methanol have in common?

Ethanol and methanol are both types of alcohol with similar chemical structures. They are commonly used as solvents, fuels, and disinfectants. However, they have different toxicities, with methanol being more toxic than ethanol when ingested.


Can you give few examples of low cost fuels?

some of the low cost fuels are bio ethanol,bio methanol,cellulose bio mass etc.


Why methanol is added to ethanol?

To avoid misuse of ethanol for drinking purpose it is denatured with methanol.


Can you turn methanol into ethanol?

Yes, methanol can be converted into ethanol through a process called catalytic hydrogenation, where hydrogen gas is reacted with methanol over a catalyst to yield ethanol. This process involves changing the molecular structure of methanol to produce ethanol.


What is difference between methanol and ethanol?

Methanol is CH3OH while ethanol is C2H5OH. The difference is CH2.


Ethanol containing some methanol is called?

Ethanol containing some methanol is called adulterated ethanol. Methanol is a toxic compound that can have harmful effects if consumed in high quantities. Industries or individuals may add methanol to ethanol for various reasons, but it is illegal and dangerous due to the health risks associated with methanol consumption.


What is used in alcohol- methanol or ethanol?

ethanol is used in alcohol


How does ethanol treat methanol poisoning?

Methanol isn't actually poisonous, but the chemicals produced when your body metabolises methanol are. The enzymes that metabolise methanol also metabolise ethanol, but when both are present the ethanol is processed first. Methanol is also removed from the body via the lungs, sweat glands and in urine. Giving ethanol prevents the toxic by products of metabolism whilst these other methods remove the methanol from their system. This treatment only works if given early. It does not reverse the the damage done by methanol that has already been metabolised.


Difference between methanol and ethanol?

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.


Are most alcohols soluble in methanol or ethanol?

Most alcohols are soluble in both methanol and ethanol due to their similar chemical properties.
