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 do you separate Ethanol and water?
Ethanol and water can be separated by fractional distillation. Fractional distillation separates liquid mixtures with different boiling points. Ethanol boils at a lower temperature than water. However, it forms a boiling azeotrope with water (azeotropes occur when solvent mixtures boil at a lower temperature than the component solvents). The azeotrope boils at 77.85 degrees, whereas pure ethanol boils at 78.4 degrees. The azeotrope is 96% ethanol and 4% water by volume. This is the maximum concentration of ethanol that can be achieved by simple distillation. Other methods of separating ethanol from water include using salts to make the water and ethanol phase-separate, using molecular sieves, using additives to change the azeotropic mixture, or distilling dry ethanol from wet ethanol that has been treated with a water-reactive metal, leaving behind the solid metal hydroxide.
Why does ethanol burn differently than ethanol and water mixed?
the main reason why ethanol burns differently then ethanol and water mix is mainly because when you add the water to the ethanol you are making the ethanol less potent so it will burn weaker.
How does the entropy of the system change when equal volumes of ethanol and water are mixed to form a solution?
It increases
Why is water a better conductor than ethanol?
water contains iron and ethanol doesnt. this is why Water has ions, ( not iron), in a higher concentration than ethanol.
How is water separated from a hydrate?
By heating water is deleted.
Which entrainers can be used in ethanol water separation to obtain fuel grade ethanol?
Benzene or cyclohexane can be used in ethanol-water separation in order to allow distillation of ethanol past the azeotrope point (96.5% ethanol by volume). Of course the benzene (a known carcinogen) must be separated from the water before the water can be disposed. Fuel grade ethanol is often separated from water using molecular sieves. In this kind of separation water is entrained in "beads" which absorb water but reject ethanol. These are eventually regenerated for reuse.
How ethanol and water get separated by fractional distillation?
They have different boiling points
What is an example of a mixture that can be separated by evaporation?
Ethanol and water. Ethanol would evaporate at around 70 deg Celsius, water around 100 Celsius.
Why water bath must be used while heating ethanol and acetone?
A water bath must be used while heating ethanol and acetone because the temperatures at which they can be heated might break the container they are heated in. Some metals are also heated this way.
Does the pH of ethanol change if water is added?
It should change
How heating can change the water?
describe how heating can change the water
How can water and alcohol be separated by heating?
Test it by drinking a lot of wine today

How do you separate water from copper sulfate and water?
you can put cheese in it and then drink it
How can you change liquid water into water vapor?
By heating it.
