Best Answer

The molar mass of ethanol is 46.07 g/mol−1 so 38.7 g of ethanol would be 0.84 moles (strictly speaking gram∙moles).

If 1661 J warms it up by 17.5 °C then the molar heat capacity would be about 112 J/mole/°C (or J/mole/K if you prefer those units).

Note that heat capacity is a function of temperature, so the value is only correct for the temperature where the measurements were made.

What happens to the freezing points as the ethanol concentration increased?

The answer depends on the substances in the mixture in which the ethanol concentration increases.


Why does ethanol slow the process of fermentation?

Ethanol interferes with the yeast's biological processes. This increases as the alcohol concentration increases until at some point fermentation stops all together.

Describe an experiment used to find out whether there is any temperature change on mixing ethanol and water?

Measure equal amounts of water and ethanol in separate containers. Take temperature of both. Add ethanol to water and take temperature.


Why is cold ethanol used instead of room termperature ethanol?

Cold ethanol is most likely used instead of room temperature ethanol in order to prevent the ethanol from evaporating. When the temperature of something decreases the molecules speed decreases as well making it less likely to evaporate.


Does ethanol affect salivary amylase activity?

Yes it does. As the concentration of EtOH increases, the ability of amylase to degrade starch lessens. That is, the rate at which starch is decomposed is less in magnitude as the concentration of ethanol increases.


What will happen to price if the demand for ethanol increase?

If the demand for ethanol increases the price will also increase.This is based on price elasticity of demand.


Will ethanol have a greater viscosity than ethylene glycol at the same temperature?

Ethanol is less viscous than ethylene glycol at the same temperature. This is because ethanol only has one -OH group, which is responsible for viscosity.
