Sodium ethoxide prepration?
React sodium metal with ethanol.
How do you separate Ethanol and water?
Ethanol and water can be separated by fractional distillation. Fractional distillation separates liquid mixtures with different boiling points. Ethanol boils at a lower temperature than water. However, it forms a boiling azeotrope with water (azeotropes occur when solvent mixtures boil at a lower temperature than the component solvents). The azeotrope boils at 77.85 degrees, whereas pure ethanol boils at 78.4 degrees. The azeotrope is 96% ethanol and 4% water by volume. This is the maximum concentration of ethanol that can be achieved by simple distillation. Other methods of separating ethanol from water include using salts to make the water and ethanol phase-separate, using molecular sieves, using additives to change the azeotropic mixture, or distilling dry ethanol from wet ethanol that has been treated with a water-reactive metal, leaving behind the solid metal hydroxide.
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.
Is ethanol reducing agent?
ethanol is a solvent
Why 95 percent ethanol is used in laboratory?
So as not to 'waste' too much ethanol. To use 95 % ethanol allows some ethanol to be saved!
Sodium ethoxide prepration?
React sodium metal with ethanol.
What is the difference between calcium ethanoate and ethanol?
Ethanol is an alcohol and is liquid and flammable. Calcium ethanoate is the salt produced by reacting ethanol and calcium metal. It is a solid in pure form.
Poison that is an enzyme inhibitor but not a heavy metal?
example is alochol, ethanol, methanol
What does ethanol do to 2 cycle engines?
When Ethanol is burned in a 2 cycle engine it washes away the protective layer of oil on the cylinder walls, increasing friction until metal to metal transfer occurs, scoring And galling the piston and cylinder. A very expensive repair.

Is ethanol a element?
no ethanol is not an element. Ethanol is an Organic compound.
How do you make sodium ethoxide?
You can either dissolve Sodium Hydroxide (NaOH) in Ethanol or react sodium metal with ethanol. The safer method is dissolving Sodium Hydroxide but it doesn't dissolve easily in ethanol so you will need to heat the mixture to almost boiling and stir constantly for a fair while to get it to dissolve completely. Also, the ethanol cannot have any water in it - it must be 100% pure. Sodium metal reacts much more slowly with ethanol than it does with water and is a recognised safe method of dispoal for small amounts of sodium, but you would still need to be careful and only use 0.5-1.0g at a time. Both methods should be done only in a fume hood/cupboard due to the gases and vapours produced.
How is ethanol harnessed?
how is ethanol controlled
Is ethanol a sugar?
No, ethanol is an alcohol.
What is the ratio of ethanol?
The ratio of ethanol to WHAT!
Give four difference between mercury and alcohol?
Different boiling points 2 Different melting points Mercury is a liquid metal , and alcohol(ethanol) is an organic compound. Mercury is poisonous and alcohol (ethanol) is not poisonous to human beings.
What is the difference of absolute ethanol to the regular technical grade ethanol?
technical grade is bethween 96% and 98% ethanol and ethanol absolute means pure ethanol whithout water ('almost') 99.9% ethanol Absolute ethanol has no water whereas 96% ethanol has 4% water or 98% has 2% water. Thus, the reaction can occur with water.
