Is a Can a renewable or nonrenewable?

A can is nonrenewable because it is made of metal and metal is a nonrenewable resource. But it can be recycled. It doesn't necessarily mean it is renewable. The simple answer is that a can is nonrenewable.


What is the simple way to test the purity of ethanol after distillation in fermentation?

One simple way is to measure the specific gravity of the ethanol using a hydrometer. Another method is to use a simple alcoholmeter to measure the alcohol content. You can also use a refractometer to measure the refractive index of the ethanol, which can indicate its purity.


Why does ethanol burn differently than ethanol and water mixed?

Ethanol burns differently than a mix of ethanol and water because water has a higher boiling point compared to ethanol. Water will absorb heat during combustion, which can lower the overall temperature and affect the efficiency of the burning process. This can lead to a slower and less complete combustion compared to pure ethanol.


Is ethanol combustion exothermic?

Yes, ethanol combustion is an exothermic process. When ethanol reacts with oxygen during combustion, it releases energy in the form of heat and light, making it an exothermic reaction.


Why 95 percent ethanol is used in laboratory?

95% ethanol is commonly used in laboratories because it is an effective solvent for a wide range of chemicals and biological substances. It also has antimicrobial properties, making it useful for disinfecting surfaces and equipment. Additionally, 95% ethanol is less prone to evaporation compared to absolute ethanol, providing a more stable solution for various applications.

What are non renewable resources in Iowa?

I don't live in Iowa, but I have been there to visit family. A renewable one would be corn (for ethanol) and soy, and nonrenewable would be coal. But for nonrenewable resources not produced in Iowa, but used there, there's oil and natural gas.

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.

HOW DO I CALCULATE THE PERCENTAGE BY MASS OF ETHANOL IN A MIXTURE OF ETHANOL AND WATER?

Divide the mass of the ethanol by the sum of the mass of the ethanol + that of the water and multiply by 100. Mass ethanol/(Mass ethanol + mass H2O) (x100)

Not sure.


What is more polar ethanol or propanol?

Ethanol is more polar. Propanol has three ch3-OH groups which affect the polarity, making it less polar.


Does BP Amoco gasoline contain ethanol?

The only way to tell whether ethanol is present in gasoline is to look at the gasoline pump. If it contains ethanol, there should be a large sticker on it stating what percentage of ethanol is in the gasoline.
