NounSingular ethanol Plural uncountable ethanol (uncountable)
From Wiktionary under the GNU Free Documentation License. Ethanol, also called ethyl alcohol, pure alcohol, grain alcohol, or drinking alcohol, is a volatile, flammable, colorless liquid. It is a psychoactive drug, best known as the type of alcohol found in alcoholic beverages and in modern thermometers. Ethanol is one of the oldest recreational drugs. In common usage, it is often referred to simply as alcohol or spirits. Ethanol is a straight-chain alcohol, and its molecular formula is C2H5OH. Its empirical formula is C2H6O. An alternative notation is CH3-CH2-OH, which indicates that the carbon of a methyl group (CH3-) is attached to the carbon of a methylene group (-CH2-), which is attached to the oxygen of a hydroxyl group (-OH). It is a constitutional isomer of dimethyl ether. Ethanol is often abbreviated as EtOH, using the common organic chemistry notation of representing the ethyl group (C2H5) with Et. The fermentation of sugar into ethanol is one of the earliest organic reactions employed by humanity. The intoxicating effects of ethanol consumption have been known since ancient times. In modern times, ethanol intended for industrial use is also produced from by-products of petroleum refining. Ethanol has widespread use as a solvent of substances intended for human contact or consumption, including scents, flavorings, colorings, and medicines. In chemistry, it is both an essential solvent and a feedstock for the synthesis of other products. It has a long history as a fuel for heat and light and also as a fuel for internal combustion engines. From Wikipedia under the

Now a 12 pack of 12oz. cans of is more expensive than a gallon of ethanol so thats how to put Anheiser Busch out of business. So all you minors can get your Beer at the Exxon and BP stations.

In other words, how would you prove, using an experiment, that glycerol should have stronger hydrogen bonds than ethanol. Asked by starswept - Thu Apr 17 00:31:31 2008 - - 1 Answers - 0 Comments A. Find their boiling points. The alcohol with the higher boiling point will have stronger hydrogen bonds. This is true because it takes more thermal energy to force apart the molecules in the alcohol with the stronger intermolecular forces (e.g hydrogen bonds, London dispersion forces, etc.). Answered by Ryan Kaufman - Thu Apr 17 00:57:38 2008 Is it possible to run ethanol in an engine using a carburetor specifically modified for methanol?
Q. Right now, it's easier to find methanol carburetors (at least in my limited experience) or carburetors modified for use with E85. I'm interested in converting an older vehicle to run ethanol exclusively, and I wonder if methanol carbs (or E85 carbs for that matter) can also be used for running 180 proof ethanol? If not, are there any companies out there that sell or modify carbs to run ethanol exclusively. I guess my question really deals with proper air/fuel ratios. I know gasoline's perfect air/fuel ratio is about 14.7:1 with a slightly richer mix usually necessary to avoid pinging, etc... Ethanol doesn't have as much stored energy per gallon as gasoline, but it has more than methanol. So, would a methanol carb run way too rich when… [cont.] Asked by jobel - Tue Jul 17 17:56:50 2007 - - 3 Answers - 1 Comments A. You should be extremely careful with this. You could certainly get any gasoline engine to run on pure ethanol, but probably not 180 proof, which is 10% water. However, Ethanol is far more corrosive than gasolene and also will attach the rubber components if they are not designed to withstand alcohol. If you convert a car not designed for enthanol, it will very probably destroy the engine and could start a fire. Be careful.
