== Alcohol is formed by a chemical reaction called fermentation that occurs when yeast and some sort of grain are mixed in a closed container. The yeast preform anaerobic respiration and ethanol is produced along with carbon dioxide. I'm pretty sure it was from the Greek and Romans with wine. Made from grapes. Then the Irish or someone came up with the whole Beer thing. Alcohol is the second stage of sugar. When sugar ferments or decays or rots, it becomes alcohol. You can get alcohol from any grain of fruit or vegetable with a high enough sugar content. When alcohol ages, it becomes vinegar. The third stage in sugar.

Distinguish ethyl alcohol from methyl alcohol?
Ethyl alcohol (C3C2OH) known as ethanol in the IUPAC nomenclature is called grain alcohol as it is traditionally produced for distillation to pure alcohol by the fermentation of grain derived sugars. The name separates it from methyl alcohol (C3OH) called methanol which is derived from the fermentation of cellulose as is sometimes called wood alcohol.
Difference between methyl alcohol and ethyl alcohol?
Ethyl alcohol (C3C2OH) known as ethanol in the IUPAC nomenclature is called grain alcohol as it is traditionally produced for distillation to pure alcohol by the fermentation of grain derived sugars. The name separates it from methyl alcohol (C3OH) called methanol which is derived from the fermentation of cellulose as is sometimes called wood alcohol.
What inorganic molecule is it derived in the functional group for alcohol?
Hydroxil group. -OH
What ester is derived from ethyl alcohol and formic acid?
The ethyl formate is obtained.
Is denatured alcohol the same as white spirits?
i do not believe so... although denatured alcohol is a powerful solvent, it evaporates rapidly and is derived from methanol (or alcohol). White Spirits are not derived from alcohol and will not evaporate as quickly. Although denatured alcohol may take a little dry oil paint off your skin, it will not be nearly as effective as White Spirits or Mineral Spirits (paint thinner.) Most Oil Based paint pigments have thinner added already to make the paint more viscus.
Alcohol derived from hexane?

What is a butyl alcohol?
A butyl alcohol is any of four isomeric aliphatic alcohols derived from butane.

Is alcohol saturated or unsaturated?
It depends on what it is derived from. If it is formed from alkenes or olefins, it will be unstaurated alcohol. Alkanes form saturated alcohols.
Where is the word alcohol derived from?
Arabic "al-kuḥl" the powdered antimony, the distillate
What kinds of alcohol are free of corn and corn derived ingredients?
Potato vodka
What inorganic molecule is it derived in the functional group for alcohol?
Hydroxil group. -OH
What ester is derived from ethyl alcohol and formic acid?
The ethyl formate is obtained.
Can coal produce gasohol?
Coal cannot be used to produce gasohol. Gasohol has two components, gasoline and alcohol. The gasoline is derived from petroleum (also known as oil) and the alcohol is derived from fermented vegetable matter of some kind (often corn). Coal cannot be processed into either gasoline or alcohol.
What is the meaning of teetotaler?
