What are the properties of ethanol in terms of burning and partial oxidation?
Wiki User
∙ 6y ago
Ethanol burns readily in a plentiful supply of air to form carbon dioxide and water. In a very limited amount of air carbon or carbon monoxide may be formed. In the test tube it is oxidised to ethanal and then ethanoic acid by such reagents as acidified potassium dichromate solution. Oxidation to ethanoic acid by oxygen is catalysed by the enzymes in certain bacteria (acetobacter).

Where does a decompser get its energy from?
Oxidation, partial oxidation, and fermentation (mainly).
Partial molar property and its applications?
Partial molar properties are useful thermodynamic properties because their molar average equals the property itself. In this article, we present a description of partial properties in general, and we show that for many partial properties, partial molar properties being a subset, the property is a molar average of the partial properties. Although partial molar properties remain the most useful, several of the other partial properties could have practical applications. © 2009 American Institute of Chemical Engineers AIChE J, 2009
What does carbine monoxide come from?
carbon momoxide is produced from the partial oxidation of carbon-containing compounds...................
How is charcoal obtained from wood?
Partial burning of wood produces charcoal
Does ethanol have a permanent dipole?
Yes. the -OH group. The highly electronegative oxygen hoards electron density away from the hydrogen leaving a partial positive charge there. This is why ethanol is a polar compound miscible with water.
What do you understand by partial oxidation of alcohol?
The partial oxidation of alcohol means conversion of alcohols to aldehydes

Is Ketosis is the abnormal condition in the body as a result in the partial burning of fatty acids?
True
Is ketosis an abnormal condition in the body as result of the partial burning of fatty acids?
TRUE
What charge does nitrogen have?
Elemental nitrogen has no charge.In ammonia (NH3) and ammonium ions (NH4+) it has a oxidation value of -3 (and actually only a partial negative charge as part from a polar covalent, non-ionic bond).In Nitrate (NO3-) its oxidation value is +5, in nitrite +3 (but only a partial positve charge in both)
How can you prepare ethanol from acetylene?
Full combustion of methane yields only carbon dioxide and water. However, acetylene is one of the products of the partial oxidation (i.e. incomplete combustion) of methane. According to [1], "Acetylene may be produced from methane in any process which raises the methane to a high temperature for a very short period followed by rapid cooling. [....] The process was studied at temperatures of 1000°C to 1300°C and reaction times of .01 to .03 seconds." Source: [1] http://circle.ubc.ca/handle/2429/41033
What is a common cause of incomplete combustion?
Incomplete combustion is most commonly caused by lack of oxygen. Partial oxidation can lead to many contaminants being released into the environment.
Ketosis is an abnormal condition in the body as a result of the partial burning of fatty acids?
Ketosis means that the body is burning fat for energy. There is nothing abnormal about this state. If the body is burning too much fat, it may be a health problem.
