The Effects of Ethanol on the Economy ECON 203 May 3‚ 2007 The Effects of Ethanol on the Economy Corn crops are responsible for producing numerous valuable resources and products and therefore‚ corn is a vital part of the nation’s agricultural industry. One of the most valuable products derived from corn is ethanol. Due to the demand for ethanol corn has experienced an increase in value. Farmers are able to charge

are looking into is ethanol or CH3CH2OH which is the chemical make up of ethanol. Ethanol is a clear colorless liquid that at low levels has a sweet taste‚ but at levels needed for fuel use it has a burning taste. Since 1990‚ when the government decided that gasoline burned had unsafe levels of carbon monoxide‚ ethanol has been added to gasoline in order to make it a higher octane level‚ burn cleaner‚ and to over all improve the emissions of gasoline. In order for an ethanol mixture to be considered

Analysis of Ethanol in Moonshine | Using the GC-MS | Jennifer Greene | ------------------------------------------------- 4 May 2012 ------------------------------------------------- 4 May 2012 Introduction: In this experiment gas chromatography is applied to separate the water-ethanol mixture. This method is often used in the determination of alcohol in blood or urine. One obvious application is when law enforcement agencies need to determine whether or not someone is inebriated

Usman Omid Biology IB 1A The Effect of Temperature on Beetroot Membranes _Aim_ This practical will test the effect of temperature on the integrity of the membranes‚ _Introduction_ The cells of beetroot contain a pigment called betalain in their vacuoles. It is kept inside the cells by the membranes. If these membranes are damaged‚ then the betalain leaks out. The amount that leaks out can be assessed‚ as the leaked out pigment will color the water surrounding the cells. This information can

To investigate the effect of variation in temperature on the permeability of cell membranes using fresh beetroot Aims In this investigation‚ you will subject fresh‚ washed beetroot discs to different temperatures to investigate the effect of temperature on the permeability of the plasma membrane. Overview The beetroot discs will be placed in distilled water at different temperatures. You will compare the intensity of the beetroot pigment that has leaked out from the cells subjectively and possibly

experiments will be conducted to evaluate ethanol as a fuel‚ the experiments are Fermentation and Calorimetry. Fermentation will find the best combination of sugar and yeast for optimum ethanol production and the Calorimetry experiments test ethanol against other alcohols and fuels to see how it matches up in terms of energy production. Fermentation shows glucose and baker’s yeast as the fastest producers of ethanol and the calorimetry proves that ethanol and other alcohols produce more heat energy

Effects of Temperature on Beetroot Cell Membranes Background Information: A cell membranes is a thin structure that surrounds the whole cell. It contains the cytoplasm of a cell. The cell membrane is made up of hydrophilic region and a hydrophobic region. The hydrophilic region likes water‚ it is on the outside of the cell‚ the hydrophobic region is the inside of the cell where its protected from H2O. The cell membrane’s outer surface lets larger molecules into the cell. The inner surface deals

The Extraction of Bio-ethanol from Apple (Malus domesticus) and Banana (Musa accuminata Colla) Peelings through the Process of Fermentation and Distillation Abstract Apple (Malus domesticus) and banana (Musa accuminata Colla) peelings are common household waste products. This study sought to extract bioethanol from these two peelings and to compare which sample can produce more bioethanol. About 400 grams of apple and banana peeling was obtained from the 1 kilogram bought from the supermarket

Using ethanol as an alternate fuel‚ or fuel extender includes a heterogenous agglomeration of advantages and disadvantages. On cars: ethanol is preferable to lead as an octane booster. A 10% addition of ethanol to petrol is more effective than lead at boosting octane rating (+2.5) and making car run smoother. It’s cheaper than lead‚ and ethanol-blended fuels leave no gummy deposits‚ thus keeps engine clean. Although a minimal 10% ethanol blend should be compatible with internal combustion engines
