What is the word equation for burning ethanol?
Ethanol+oxygen-carbon dioxide+water
Is burning ethanol endothermic?
No, burning ethanol is an exothermic reaction because it releases heat energy as it combines with oxygen to form carbon dioxide and water vapor.
Is ethanol potential or kinetic?
Ethanol is a chemical compound and therefore does not have kinetic or potential energy itself. However, when ethanol is burned as a fuel, it releases energy in the form of heat, which is a form of kinetic energy.
Burning fossil fuels is like letting go of a slingshot because both change potential energy into?
Burning fossil fuels turns potential energy into kinetic energy. Kinetic energy is energy in motion, which can be used to do work.
What is the word equation for ethanol burning in air?
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 :]
Is burned ethanol a physical or chemical change?
Burning anything (a liquid or a solid) is a chemical change and the reaction is known as a combustion reaction.
What do you get when you burn ethanol?
Burning ethanol produces carbon dioxide and water as byproducts, along with heat energy.
What is the word equation for burning ethanol?
Ethanol+oxygen-carbon dioxide+water
Which is a negative impact of the use of ethanol for energy?
Climate change
What is a negative impact of the use of ethanol for energy?
Climate change
Is burning ethanol an effective laboratory sterilizer?
Ethanol by itself is an effective sterilizer -- no burning required. The ethanol liquid will kill any germs.
What is the major drawback to the use of ethanol based energy?
Burning ethanol releases greenhouse gases.
What is the name of a substance formed by burning hydrogen and ethanol in air?
what is the substance formad when burning both hydrogen and ethanol in the air
Is burning ethanol endothermic?
No, burning ethanol is an exothermic reaction because it releases heat energy as it combines with oxygen to form carbon dioxide and water vapor.
What elements will be present in the substances that are created when ethanol burns?
The products of burning ethanol are carbon dioxide (CO2) and water (H2O). When ethanol undergoes combustion, it reacts with oxygen to produce these two substances along with heat and light energy.
Is burning a match an endothermic or exothermic change?
Burning a match is an exothermic change because energy is being released.
What are the issues with burning ethanol?
I'm uncertain what kind of "issues" you mean. Ethanol is a reasonably good fuel. It has the same "issues" as nearly every flammable liquid, namely that it's flammable and burning it produces carbon dioxide and water vapor, both of which are greenhouse gases. One potential issue peculiar to ethanol is that most fuels are not at risk of being diverted for beverage purposes. This can be ameliorated by denaturing the ethanol, though.
