10% ethanol is added to help both emmissions and stretch the gasoline supply further. BUT if you go to Tennessee you have a choice of 100% gasoline or the 10% ethanol mix, i have found the gas mileage actually improves on 100% gas and seems to run a little smoother.I was quite surprised myself.

What happens when you put frozen ethanol into liquid ethanol?

That question is too vague. I'm assuming you mean a little frozen ethanol into a larger volume of liquid ethanol. This being the case, the ethanol will melt. That's it.


If Light goes from flint glass into ethanol The angle of refraction in the ethanol is 27.6 What is the angle of incidence in the glass?

If light goes from flint glass into ethanol and the angle of refraction in the ethanol is 27.6, the angle of incidence in the glass is approximately 23.21. This calculation is based on refractive index of pure flint glass being 1.60 and refractive index of ethanol being 1.361.


Why can't all engines use ethanol?

Modern engines can run some Ethanol. Modern gasoline engines are now set up to run E10, which is a mixture of 10% ethanol. To use higher percentages like E85, which is 85% Ethanol, engines need appropriate seals, hoses and engine settings (timing, etc.). Vehicles set up to run E85 have been selling for a number of years and are sold as "Flex Fuel" vehicles. Such vehicles have a fuel sensor in the fuel line to monitor the mix of gasoline and ethanol present and adjust the engine appropriately for the fuel being used. Either all gasoline can be used or any mixture of ethanol up to 85% ethanol (E85). Running E85 in a vehicle not set up for this mixture will damage seals and fuel lines.
