Ethanol

What is Ethanol Poisoning in Cats? Ethanol poisoning occurs in cats when they ingest a substance that is either an alcoholic beverage or something that produces ethanol inside the body after ingestion such as uncooked pizza or bread dough. If you think your cat has ingested ethanol, it is important to visit a veterinarian as soon as possible, because if treated early there is a good chance the cat will recover. Symptoms of Ethanol Poisoning in Cats Ethanol poisoning may cause depression of…

Ethanol Nonrenewable energy resources, such as fossil fuel, being depleted at an increasingly distressing rate. Therefore, other options for transportation fuel that consist of renewable energy resources, has been taken under consideration. Ethanol is such a resource, which encourages the rise of an optimistic outlook in satisfying the continuously staggering need for energy resources. Although, ethanol has an array of potentials to diminish the need for transportation fuel, it does not come…

Known as the human species oldest recreational drug, Ethanol is a colorless, flammable liquid, with a distinct smell, and burns with a blue flame. It has the chemical formula of CH3CH2OH (it's molecular formula) or C2H6O (it's empirical formula), that can also be abbreviated using chemistry notation as EtOH. It has a melting point at -173.2°F , and a boiling point at 173.1°F. Ethanol has many handy uses around the world, in many different places. Some of it's many uses include being an…

Abstract: Fermentation of sucrose with brewer yeast catalyst was successfully conducted to yield ethanol with 70.2 % conversion of sucrose. Based on the graph of Refractive Index vs % ethanol (v/v), 32.8% of ethanol was determined to be in the distillate solution with corresponding Refractive Index of 1.3555 Statement and purpose The purpose of this experiment was to determine the % of ethanol (v/v) in the resulting solution and the % conversion of sucrose Introduction The fermentation 17.1 g…

(percentage) of ethanol present in an aqueous sample. I tested three different samples containing different percentage amounts of ethanol in them; Listerine, Terra Fresca Wine and the last is a mixture of ethanol and water that was made by me. The three different methods compared are the redox titration method which involves the oxidation of ethanol to ethanoic acid and then titrating the residue with sodium thiosulfate, which would then be used to calculate the number of moles of ethanol…

and along these lines fermentable sugar can be acquired. The glucose arrangement is weakened and changed over to ethyl liquor by the anaerobic activity of yeast, ethanol of 95.6% w/w turns out through parchedness which is concentrated to 99.5% w/w (Ramasamy and Paramasamy, 2001; Kosugi et al., 2009). In this manner cassava-based fuel ethanol is created and it is typically denatured by little volume of fuel or other materials included keeping individuals from drinking it, (Leng et al., 2008). A…

this experiment is to purify and separate ethanol and water by fractional distillation to achieve the 95% of ethanol and 5% of water; then determine the density of the liquids that were collected. In the experiment, 20 mL of ethanol solution were heated in the distillate flask and maintaining the temperature around 78°C to 82°C until there were 2 mL collected in the receiving flask . The results I observed is that I did not obtain a 95/5 percentage of ethanol and water and my average density of…

• Due to cyclic nature of production of ethanol, does not add to growing concentration of carbon dioxide in the atmosphere. • Most vehicle engines are made to use octane. • Changing of car engines would be necessary in order to use pure ethanol as fuel. • Large land requirements to produce crops for ethanol from glucose. • Expensive to produce, as a lot of energy is required in the process of production, compared to expense…

For this project, we were charged with distilling a feed stream of methanol, ethanol, n-propanol, and n-butanol to 98% purity of each component. Our feed was assigned entrance specifications of 50 kmol/hr, 25˚C, and 1 atm. ChemCAD simulations allowed us to analyze the different methods of distillation in order to create an optimal process. It was left up to us to decide how many columns to use, the topology of these columns, number of trays, feed stream location, and many other variables that…

flame length. The results collected when testing the length of the carbon chain affecting energy output partially indicates that as the length of the carbon chain increased there was a reduction in flame size. The results above stipulate that when ethanol (C_2 H_6 OH) is burned it produced a greater flame length with an average of 7cm then Butanol (C_4 H_9 OH) with an average of 5cm and Hexanol (C_6 H_14 OH) with an average of 5.33cm which produced significantly lower averages due to the less…
