How do you collect ethanol if it is in a mixture with water?
JonnyBro
Distillation. Ethanol can be easily collected from water using distillation up to 97% purity.

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.
Is ethanol a heterogenous mixture or homogenous mixture?
Ethanol is not a mixture at all. It is a compound and therefore a pure substance.
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.
Is grain alcohol an element compound solution or heterogeneous mixture?
The grain alcohol itself is a compound, Ethanol but, it is always found in a mixture with water, making it a solution.
Is the mixture of ethanol in water a heterogeneous or homogeneous mixture?
The mixture water-ethanol is homogeneous.

What are the chemicals that are present in the mixture of ethanol and water?
Of course, these substances are ethanol and water.
What conditions are needed to make ethanol from ethene and steam?
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.
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.
If a water ethanol mixture is distilled which will be collected first?
The ethanol will be distilled first and the water stays in the flask
Can steam distillation of ethanol be done using a mixture of ethanol and water?
I dont think so because ethanol, containing an OH group is readily soluble in water.
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)
Is alcohol a substance or a mixture and what kind?
mixtureAdded:Chemically speaking alcohol is meant to be ethanol, which is a pure compound with formula CH3CH2OH, it definitely is not a mixture, except when 'dissolved' in water (most stable solution: 4% water + 96% ethanol. (This is what you get when buying a bottle pure ethanol)
Will letting water-sugar-yeast mixture ferment for long time affect the quantity of ethanol produced?
Letting a water, sugar, and yeast mixture ferment for a long time does not affect the quantity of ethanol produced.
Is ethyl alchohol a pure substance or mixture?
It is a pure substance.Added:Chemically speaking alcohol is meant to be ethanol, which is a pure compound with formula CH3CH2OH, it definitely is not a mixture, except when 'dissolved' in water (most stable solution: 4% water + 96% ethanol. (This is what you get when buying a bottle pure ethanol)
Is ethanol a mixture of compounds?
No. Ethanol is also alcohol. Ethanol is a compound. It is not a mixture.
