because it has a acid inside the ethinol and a pinch of pottassium which makes it burn

What do you get when you burn ethanol?
Carbon Dioxide and Water
When you burn ethanol what do you get?
Carbon Dioxide and Water
What happens when you burn ethanol?
If there is an ample supply of oxygen, the ethanol is converted to carbon dioxide and water.
What gas is given off when you burn ethanol?
Water vapor and carbon dioxide.
What is the enthalpy of combustion of ethanol and the equation?
it is a reaction when ethanol compeltly burn in oxygen to produce corbondioxide and water.The reaction is exo because heat is giving off Thom, ab, aba and mer
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.
Why do you have to modify vehicles to use ethanol as a fuel?
You don't if the vehicle was designed as a flex fuel vehicle. It can safely burn E85 ethanol. You can burn a mixture of 10% Ethanol in any vehicle.
What gas is required for ethanol to burn?
Oxygen.

Does ethanol burn more cleanly than methane?
no. lol
What will ethanol fuel do to a 1939 Cadillac?
Burn the valves over time.

How is ethanol and oil the same?
Ethanol and oil for fuel are both rather simple liquid hydrocarbons. Both can be used as fuel for internal combustion engines, turbines, and heating units. In many cases, equipment can be designed or retrofitted to burn either. Both burn to form carbon dioxide and water, but their carbon footprints are different. Petroleum is a fossil fuel, but ethanol is not. Petroleum predictably has a pretty specific carbon footprint, but the carbon footprint of ethanol varies according to how it is produced and is somewhat controversial. The production of ethanol could produce very little global warming gas, but it could also produce a lot.
How can ethanol reduce carbon emissions?
Ethanol is a fuel made from plants. When we burn this fuel, it does emit carbon dioxide, but of course this was originally absorbed from the atmosphere by the plants, so there is no net increase in the amount of atmospheric carbon dioxide no matter how much ethanol we use (apart from a small amount produced by generating electricity used in the production of the ethanol). A disadvantage of using ethanol for motor fuel is that its production competes with food crops.
