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 is water a better fluid for use in a hot pack than ethyl alcohol?
Water has a higher boiling point than ethanol, and so will evaporate more slowly at high temperatures than ethanol. Also, I think water has a higher heat capacity, which means it will stay hot longer.
Why does ethanol dissolve in water?
Most salts will dissolve more readily in water than ethanol, so in ethanol the solid can crystallize out at lower concentrations. Also ethanol has the added benefit of being more easily removed by evaporation.
Is 2-naphthol soluble in ethanol?
yes, it is much more soluble in ethanol than in water.
Why does lightning strike near water?
Lightning strikes strike near water because water is a good conductor of electricity. Most lightning strikes happen by the ocean because the salt makes it an even better conductor at electricity than fresh water.
Is cold water a better conductor than hot?
is cold water a better conductor than hot
Is water a better conductor than plastic?
No, water is not a better conductor of electricity than silver.Water can become a better conductor in acidic medium(by decreasing its pH). But it may split up into Hydrogen & Oxygen.
Is water a better conductor of heat than water?
no
Why is ethanol a better solvent than water for recrystalization?
the answer is yes.
Is water or aluminum a better conductor?
Aluminum is a much better conductor than pure water. Salty water conducts as well as aluminum, however.
Why is a blanket a better conductor of heat when it's wet rather than it being dry?
the blanket has water and water is a very good conductor so a wet blanket is a better conductor than a dry blanket
Why ethanol not suitable in Gas chromatography?
Its alcohol so it can purify the chemicals used in the experiment. Furthermore, it will travel up the filter paper better than water will. Ethanol is pure whereas water may have other things in it such as chlorine is in tap water
Why would ethanol be better than plain water for removing a grease stain?
Fat is not water soluble so water really won't do anything. Ethanol is an alcohol, which can break down grease.
Which liquid expands more Ethanol or Water?
Water expands more than ethanol because the boiling point og water is more than that of ethanol.
Is biofuel better then ethanol?
Ethanol is one of the biofuels, so it can't be better than itself.
Is nickel a better conductor than copper?
No - copper is a better conductor than nickel.
Why is mercury a better conductor oh heat than water at room temperature?
huhuhu
