Ethanol is an alcohol and carbon dioxyde is an inorganic gas.
Carbon dioxide has a very low solubility in ethanol.
Ethanol+oxygen-carbon dioxide+water
The formula for ethanol is CH3CH2OH So for each mole of ethanol burnt it produces 2 moles of carbon dioxide 1 Mole of ethanol is 46 g 2 moles of carbon dioxide is (2 x 44 g) 88 g So each gram of ethanol produces 1.9 grams of carbon dioxide on combustion

ethanol + oxygen ----> Carbon Dioxide + water (assume complete combustion) CH3CH2OH + 3O2 ---> 2CO2 + 3H2O *also, when a compound is burning,we chemists use the term Combustion, which refers to the exothermic reactions which occur between some fuel source and an oxidant. Thus, "Ethanol burning in air" is rather redundant :]

Burning ethanol produces carbon dioxide and water as byproducts, along with heat energy.
Yes, ethanol releases carbon dioxide when it is used as a fuel source.
Butane has bonds between carbon atoms.Carbon dioxide hasn't bonds between carbon atoms.
The main difference between methanol and ethanol is their molecular structures. Methanol has one carbon atom, one oxygen atom, and three hydrogen atoms, while ethanol has two carbon atoms, one oxygen atom, and five hydrogen atoms. Additionally, methanol is more toxic to humans compared to ethanol.
carbon dioxide is a gas in the air which we exhale out. water is a liquid which has H2o
Water and carbon dioxide.
Ethanol and carbon dioxide are produced during alcoholic fermentation. C6H12O6 ---> 2C2H5OH + 2CO2 Glucose breaks down in the presence of enzymes to produce ethanol and carbon dioxide. C2H5OH is the chemical formula for ethanol.

Yes, anything that is burnt releases carbon dioxide. However, ethanol has no carbon footprint, as the carbon dioxide it releases was recently removed from the atmosphere when the plants grew. So it is carbon neutral.
Fermentation is the process of making alcohol (ethanol) by mixing sugar and yeast in a barell: sugar + yeast ----> ethanol + carbon dioxide Hydration is another process of making alcohol (ethanol) by heating water and ethene at a temperature of around 300 degrees celcius under high pressure: ethene + steam -----> ethanol One big difference between fermentation and hydration is that fermentation pproduces the bi-product cabon dioxide whereas hydration doesn't. Another difference coulkd be that the reaction of hydration happens a lot faster than that of fermentation.
