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 is methanol more polar than ethanol?
Methane is CH4 or H-CH3 Ethane is CH3-CH3 When compared to H- (in methane), the CH3- (methyl group in ethane) is more electron donating and hence ethane is more basic than methane.
Can a block of ashwood float in Methanol?
No, not any substance, but some, and here's why. Methanol has a density of 0.79g. If you put something in the methanol, say wood (oak), that weighs 0.89g, which is more, it will sink. It all depends on if it weighs more or less than the methanol. If it weighs more, it will sink, If it weighs less, it will float.
How does Methanol work?
I am not aware of any direct way of producing methanol from methane. The only two ways I know that you can make methanol is by reacting carbon monoxide with hydrogen or by the pyrolysis of wood. Almost all the methanol made today is produced by the Syngas method. In it, methane is converted to carbon monoxide and hydrogen, which are then formed into methanol. Researchers are working on a catalyst to directly convert methane to methanol, which is done by inserting one oxygen atom into a methane molecule, between the carbon atom and a hydrogen atom. Their biggest problem right now is the most efficient catalysts work at temperatures high enough to ignite methanol.
What two products are formed when a piece of wood is burned?
Heat and light energy are given off during wood burning. In addition, the gases Carbon Dioxide and water vapor are also produced. Traces of other gases may also be present and small particulates of charcoal and soot.
What are the two gases called when methanol is burned?
When methanol is burned, it produces carbon dioxide and water vapor as the main gases.
Which two gases are made when petrol is burned?
carbon dioxide and water
What two gases are produced by both combustion and cellar respiration?
Carbon dioxide and water vapor are the two gases produced by both combustion and cellular respiration.
What two things are produced when an organic matter is burned?
H2O and CO2
What are the two main gases produced by the industrial gases industry?
The industrial gas industry differs from many other types of manufacturing because its raw materials are primarily extracted from the atmosphere. The two principal gases produced by the industry are nitrogen and oxygen.
What gas is produced when you burn paraffin?
Both carbon dioxide and water are produced as gases when paraffin is burned, but of these two, only the carbon dioxide is still a gas when it equilibrates to standard temperature and pressure.
When materials are burned - as well as smoke and ash which two forms of energy are produced?
Heat and Light.
What two greenhouse gases are produced when vegetation decomposes without oxygen?
Co2 & Cl3
When you break down water what two gases are produced?
2 parts hydrogen and 1 part oxygen
When the reaction is balanced how many carbon dioxide molecules are produced for every methane molecule burned?
When methane is burned, one molecule of methane (CH4) reacts with two molecules of oxygen (O2) to produce one molecule of carbon dioxide (CO2) and two molecules of water (H2O). So, for every molecule of methane burned, one molecule of carbon dioxide is produced.
What two chemicals burn without flame?
methanol
What are the two greenhouse gases in cow manure?
The two main greenhouse gases in cow manure are methane and nitrous oxide. Methane is produced during the digestion process in cows, while nitrous oxide is released during the decomposition of manure. Both gases are potent contributors to global warming and climate change.
