What are the expected boiling points for ethanol and 1-butanol?
The boiling point of ethanol is approximately 78.37°C, while the boiling point of 1-butanol is around 117.7°C. This difference is due to the longer carbon chain length and increased surface area of 1-butanol compared to ethanol, resulting in stronger intermolecular forces in 1-butanol.

Ethanol containing some methanol is called?
Ethanol containing some methanol is called adulterated ethanol. Methanol is a toxic compound that can have harmful effects if consumed in high quantities. Industries or individuals may add methanol to ethanol for various reasons, but it is illegal and dangerous due to the health risks associated with methanol consumption.
Difference between methanol and ethanol?
Methanol is CH3OH, ethanol is CH3CH2OH. Both are alcohols, ethanol has one carbon more (or a CH2 group more) and is less polar than methanol. Also ethanol has higher boiling point than methanol.
Why does methanol have a lower boiling point than ethanol?
Methanol and ethanol differ only by one carbon and 2 hydrogens. Both have the hydroxyl group and, thus, have hydrogen bonding and dipole-dipole interactions. What makes them different are their London forces (London forces are directly proportional to the number of electrons in a molecule and molecular size). Since methanol is smaller than ethanol, there is a smaller intermolecular London force. Less force holing the molecules together means they're easier to be pulled apart, which implies a lower boiling point.
What are the alcohols in which potassium fluoride is soluble?
Potassium fluoride (KF) is soluble in alcohols such as methanol (CH3OH), ethanol (C2H5OH), and isopropanol (C3H7OH). It forms strong hydrogen bonds with the oxygen atoms in the alcohol molecules, allowing for solubility.
What is a liquid that starts with a?
alcohol (at least if you are talking about ethanol, methanol, propanol, or iso-propanol)
Why methanol ethanol and propanol soluble in water?
The cause is the presence of the group -OH.
What are 5 solvents in organic solvent?
water, ethanol, methanol, isopropanol, butanol, kerosene and
Why ethanol and water are miscible?
They are polar molecules and can form Hydrogen bond among each other. For Alcohol, miscibility is lowered at higher chain. Moving from Methanol -> Ethanol -> Propanol is miscible but Butanol can dissolve at only 11%
Can you convert ethanol to butanol?
Yes, ethanol can be converted to butanol through a process called catalytic hydrogenation. This reaction involves the addition of hydrogen in the presence of a catalyst to convert ethanol into butanol.
Can you turn methanol into ethanol?
Yes, methanol can be converted into ethanol through a process called catalytic hydrogenation, where hydrogen gas is reacted with methanol over a catalyst to yield ethanol. This process involves changing the molecular structure of methanol to produce ethanol.
What is a strOnG-smelling colorless liquid that burns easily?
Alcohols such as ethanol, methanol, and 2-propanol fit that description
What 5 substances can be classified as liquid and flammable?
There are far more than five. Ethanol, methanol, 2-propanol, pentane, and hexane are five extremely common examples.
What is ch3-ch2-ch2-ch2-ch2-ch2-ch2-oh?
1-Butanol
Which part of alcohol limits the solubility in water?
The carbon chain portion limits solubility. In smaller chain alcohols such as methanol, ethanol, and propanol the carbon chain has no real effect and such alcohols are water-soluble in any ratio. Most isomers of butanol have limited solubility.
Can methanol ethanol or butanol from biomass replace gasoline in cars in a few years?
I don't think enough could be produced to do this
