I'm uncertain what kind of "issues" you mean. Ethanol is a reasonably good fuel. It has the same "issues" as nearly every flammable liquid, namely that it's flammable and burning it produces carbon dioxide and water vapor, both of which are greenhouse gases.

One potential issue peculiar to ethanol is that most fuels are not at risk of being diverted for beverage purposes. This can be ameliorated by denaturing the ethanol, though.

What is the word equation for ethanol burning in air?

ethanol + oxygen ----> Carbon Dioxide + water (assume complete combustion) CH3CH2OH + 3O2 ---> 2CO2 + 3H2O *also, when a compound is burning,we chemists use the term Combustion, which refers to the exothermic reactions which occur between some fuel source and an oxidant. Thus, "Ethanol burning in air" is rather redundant :]


When ethanol reacts with oxygen what product is formed?

When ethanol reacts with oxygen, carbon dioxide and water are produced. This reaction typically occurs during combustion, such as burning ethanol as fuel.


What is the simple way to test the purity of ethanol after distillation in fermentation?

One simple way is to measure the specific gravity of the ethanol using a hydrometer. Another method is to use a simple alcoholmeter to measure the alcohol content. You can also use a refractometer to measure the refractive index of the ethanol, which can indicate its purity.

Is burning ethanol endothermic?

No, burning ethanol is an exothermic reaction because it releases heat energy as it combines with oxygen to form carbon dioxide and water vapor.


Can you use Ethanol 10 in a 1994 Honda Accord?

I used Ethanol 10 in my 1994 Accord for over 3 years and drove it from 84k miles to 152k miles without any issues. I also have worked for Honda since 2004 and have heard of no issues relating to using Ethanol 10. So Yes, 10% ethanol is fine.
