Ethanol is an alcohol and carbon dioxyde is an inorganic gas.
Carbon dioxide has a very low solubility in ethanol.
The formula for ethanol is CH3CH2OH So for each mole of ethanol burnt it produces 2 moles of carbon dioxide 1 Mole of ethanol is 46 g 2 moles of carbon dioxide is (2 x 44 g) 88 g So each gram of ethanol produces 1.9 grams of carbon dioxide on combustion
Ethanol+oxygen-carbon dioxide+water
Use limewater. The limewater turns cloudy in the presence of carbon dioxide.
Ethanol from plant material is a biofuel. Burning biomass or biofuel does not contribute to global warming. When the plant was growing it removed carbon dioxide from the air. When the ethanol is burnt, that same carbon dioxide is returned to the air. This is part of the natural carbon cycle.The carbon dioxide that comes from burning fossil fuels (coal, oil and natural gas) was taken out of the atmosphere millions of years ago, so releasing it now is adding extra CO2 (and causing global warming).This is why ethanol is counted as renewable energy and better than fossil fuels.
the difference between carbon and carbon dioxide is carbon is just carbon
Carbon dioxide has a very low solubility in ethanol.
Methanol have single carbon atom compound and ethanol have two carbon atoms.

Ethanol is an alcohol with two carbon atoms (C2H5OH) and butanol is an alcohol with four carbon atoms (C4H9OH)
Carbon Dioxide and Water
Carbon Dioxide and Water
There is none, though carbon dioxide is the preferred term
Ethanol+oxygen-carbon dioxide+water
Carbon dioxide may be a product of the ethanol fermentation.
Butane has bonds between carbon atoms.Carbon dioxide hasn't bonds between carbon atoms.
