probably ethanol - it is more readily available and vehicles are set up to take it
Hydrogen bonds can form between ethanol, propanol, and methanol due to the presence of hydroxyl groups (OH). Butanol also has potential for hydrogen bonding, while pentane and hexane do not have functional groups that allow for hydrogen bonding.
Merck Index states its miscible with water, alcohol and ether. Alcohol usually refers to ethanol.
Propanol can be used as a fuel, but it is not as commonly used as other fuels like gasoline or diesel. It has a lower energy density compared to these fuels, meaning it may not provide as much power when burned. However, propanol is considered a more environmentally friendly option as it produces fewer harmful emissions when burned.
The compound is 1-propanol, which is a type of alcohol. It consists of a propyl (3-carbon) chain with a hydroxyl group (-OH) at the end.
Yes, a Wankel engine can run on ethanol. Ethanol is a popular alternative fuel for internal combustion engines, and it can be used in Wankel engines with modifications to the fuel system to handle the different properties of ethanol compared to gasoline.
Ethanol is more polar. Propanol has three ch3-OH groups which affect the polarity, making it less polar.
alcohol (at least if you are talking about ethanol, methanol, propanol, or iso-propanol)
Ethanol has two carbons, isopropanol has three carbons. So iso-propanol is larger in size.
The cause is the presence of the group -OH.
Hydrogen bonds can form between ethanol, propanol, and methanol due to the presence of hydroxyl groups (OH). Butanol also has potential for hydrogen bonding, while pentane and hexane do not have functional groups that allow for hydrogen bonding.
all fuels are better
Merck Index states its miscible with water, alcohol and ether. Alcohol usually refers to ethanol.
Rubbing alcohol is a mixture of ethanol, iso-propanol, a dye etc.
Alcohols such as ethanol, methanol, and 2-propanol fit that description
Fractional distillation can be used to separate ethanol from a mixture of ethanol and propanol. This technique takes advantage of the differences in boiling points of the two compounds to separate them based on their vapor pressures. Ethanol has a lower boiling point than propanol, allowing it to vaporize first and be collected separately.
Propanol can be used as a fuel, but it is not as commonly used as other fuels like gasoline or diesel. It has a lower energy density compared to these fuels, meaning it may not provide as much power when burned. However, propanol is considered a more environmentally friendly option as it produces fewer harmful emissions when burned.
IMO, it is not a better fuel. Ethanol has nothing going for it. It contains less energy per gallon than gasoline. You get less milage and less power, with ethanol. It is no cheaper to produce as it must be trucked and cannot be piped. It takes away from the food supply to produce fuel. The rain forest is being cut down in order to grow crops for the production of ethanol. Ethanol is just a way to stop using oil, and a poor way at that.
