Your question is not right.ethanol is also know as ethyl alcohol. When you take the preparations of ethanol,here it acts as product example ethane reacts with water to give ethanol C2H4+H2O gives C2H5OH in this example ethanol is a product. When we take chemical or physical properties of ethanol it act as reactent in the chemical equation. Example-combustion or burning of ethanol in air gives carbon dioxide and water. C2H5OH+3O2 gives 2CO2+3H20 in the above example ethanol is a reactent.

After a chemical reaction starts when will a chemical reaction end?

When the limiting reactant is completely used up. A limiting reactant is the reactant that determines the amount of product. To determine this use the balanced chemical reaction with the masses of the reactants to determine the moles of product formed. The reactant that forms the least amount of product will be the limiting reactant.


Is carbon dioxide a product or reactant?

Carbon dioxide, in photosynthesis, is a reactant, or "raw material" and in cellular respiration, is a product or end product, so it is really either, but the answer to the question according to the category is a "raw material."


Is copper oxide a reactant or product?

It can be either depending on the reaction. It can be a product of electrolysis of copper with sulfuric acid, or an acid base reaction of copper hydroxide and sulfuric acid. It can react with metals such as zinc.


If one knows the mass and molar mass of reactant A and the molar mass of product D in a chemical reaction one can determine the mass of product D produced by using the?

Balanced chemical equation along with the stoichiometric ratios derived from that chemical reaction. A + B --> 2C mass of A * 1/molar mass of A = moles of A Moles of A * 2 moles of C/mole of A = moles of C Moles of C * molar mass of C = mass of C Also, you must think about limiting reagents, because if there is not enought reactant B to react with the amount of reactant A then the amount of reactant B will limit the production of product C!


If 100 g of CuS and 56 g of O2 are available which is the limiting reactant?

To determine the limiting reactant, first calculate the moles of each reactant by dividing the given mass by their respective molar masses. Then, determine the mole ratio between CuS and O2 in the balanced chemical equation. The reactant that produces fewer moles of product based on this ratio is the limiting reactant.

Is sugar a reactant or a product?

Sugar can be both a reactant and a product, depending on the chemical reaction. For example, in the process of photosynthesis, sugar (glucose) is produced as a product. However, in the process of fermentation, sugar is a reactant that is broken down to produce other products like ethanol and carbon dioxide.

Is copper a product or a reactant?

For copper, it is an element. It could be both reactant and product. While purifying copper will be the product. But copper would be the reactant in case of preparing hydrogen or copper sulphate salts.
