Is the mixture of ethanol in water a heterogeneous or homogeneous mixture?

The mixture water-ethanol is homogeneous.


After obtaining a mixture of ethanol and pure water from a mixture of ethanol and sea water through distillation which liquid will be collected first and last?

The liquid that boils at a lower temperature will become a gas first and this will be the first one that you collect. Water boils at 100 degrees C and methanol boils at 64.7 degrees C so you will collect methanol first and then water.


How do you calculate the density of an ethanol-water mixture?

To calculate the density of an ethanol-water mixture, you would use the formula: Density (mass of ethanol mass of water) / (volume of ethanol volume of water) You would need to know the masses and volumes of both ethanol and water in the mixture. Then, you can plug these values into the formula to find the density of the mixture.


Describe how distillation is used to separate a mixture of ethanol and water?

Distillation is based on the difference between boiling points of liquids. Ethanol is separated first.The distillation is possible only to an ethanol concentration of 95,63 % because an azeotropic mixture is formed.


How do you separat ethanol and water?

Ethanol and water can be separated using distillation. Since ethanol and water have different boiling points, heating the mixture will cause the ethanol to vaporize before the water. The vapor is then collected and condensed back into a liquid form, resulting in separate ethanol and water fractions.

What are the chemicals that are present in the mixture of ethanol and water?

Of course, these substances are ethanol and water.


Can steam distillation of ethanol be done using a mixture of ethanol and water?

Yes, steam distillation of ethanol can be done using a mixture of ethanol and water. The mixture will allow for separation of the ethanol from the water by taking advantage of the difference in boiling points between the two compounds.


How to obtain pure water and ethanol from a mixture of sea water and ethanol?

You would use distillation, in which the ethanol and water will boil at different temperatures.

What compounds are produced when sodium nitrate is added to a mixture of water and ethanol?

When sodium nitrate is added to a mixture of water and ethanol, it dissociates into sodium ions and nitrate ions. No new compounds are formed.


Can ethanol be separated from sand and water?

Yes, ethanol can be separated from sand and water using distillation. Ethanol has a lower boiling point than water, so by heating the mixture, the ethanol will evaporate first and can be collected, leaving the sand and water behind.


What is a mixture of ethanol and water is known as?

alcoholic beverages like beer and cider are usually made up of ethinol and flavoured water so the answer will be an alcoholic drink.


HOW DO I CALCULATE THE PERCENTAGE BY MASS OF ETHANOL IN A MIXTURE OF ETHANOL AND WATER?

Divide the mass of the ethanol by the sum of the mass of the ethanol + that of the water and multiply by 100. Mass ethanol/(Mass ethanol + mass H2O) (x100)
