The usual method is by fermenting grain. It can also be produced from plant fibers (straw, wood, etc.) but that is a more expensive process.

How many molecules of ethanol can be obtained from one molecule of sugar?
From one molecule of glucose (sugar) you can obtain two molecules of ethanol. Glucose's chemical composition is C6H12O6 Carbon dioxide (Co2) is lost in the fermentation process so we are left with 2C2H5OH or two ethanol molecules! Hope it helps!
Why does ethanol burn differently than ethanol and water mixed?
the main reason why ethanol burns differently then ethanol and water mix is mainly because when you add the water to the ethanol you are making the ethanol less potent so it will burn weaker.
Is ethanol reducing agent?
ethanol is a solvent
Is ethanol a metal?
No, ethanol is an organic basic liquid, wine and beer contain ethanol, and it is flammable
Why 95 percent ethanol is used in laboratory?
So as not to 'waste' too much ethanol. To use 95 % ethanol allows some ethanol to be saved!
How to obtain pure water and ethanol from a mixture of sea water and ethanol?
You would use distillation, in which the ethanol and water will boil at different temperatures.
What method is used to obtain iodine from a solution of iodine in ethanol?
filtration
How is energy obtained from ethanol to fuel a car?
You cannot obtain the energy as it is anti-matter.
Can you make ethanol at home?
Yes. In some countries (such as the US), you must obtain a permit from the BATF and the ethanol produced must be mixed with a substance that renders it unfit for human consumption. The ethanol must be used for producing energy, not to drink.
What elements are made from Ethanol?
Ethanol is a compound that contains the elements carbon, hydrogen, and oxygen. Therefore, these three elements can be obtained from ethanol. However, it is not customary to write that these elements can be "made from ethanol", because the elements are already present in the compound and are simply separated from one another to obtain the pure elements.
What are hydrocarbons used for?
fuel and to obtain other organic compounds such as methanol, ethanol, carbon black, chloroform, formaldehyde.
Which entrainers can be used in ethanol water separation to obtain fuel grade ethanol?
Benzene or cyclohexane can be used in ethanol-water separation in order to allow distillation of ethanol past the azeotrope point (96.5% ethanol by volume). Of course the benzene (a known carcinogen) must be separated from the water before the water can be disposed. Fuel grade ethanol is often separated from water using molecular sieves. In this kind of separation water is entrained in "beads" which absorb water but reject ethanol. These are eventually regenerated for reuse.
Is zinc acetate soluble in ethanol?
Zinc acetate is not easily solved in ethanol, so it is necessary to add one of this stabilizer such as DI water, MEA , DEA , TEA to obtain a completely clear and transparent solution .
How many molecules of ethanol can be obtained from one molecule of sugar?
From one molecule of glucose (sugar) you can obtain two molecules of ethanol. Glucose's chemical composition is C6H12O6 Carbon dioxide (Co2) is lost in the fermentation process so we are left with 2C2H5OH or two ethanol molecules! Hope it helps!
Is ethanol a element?
no ethanol is not an element. Ethanol is an Organic compound.
How do you obtain ethanol from gasohol?
Since gasoline and ethanol do not have exactly the same boiling point, it is possible to separate them by means of fractional distillation. But if you are just looking for cheap vodka, it's really not worth the trouble. Just buy vodka at the liquor store, it's much easier that way.
Is ethanol a sugar?
No, ethanol is an alcohol.
