is that corn is used in ethanol. For higher yields of corn farmers and scientists have turned to genetic engineering. Corn has a big impact on Illinois‚ corn helps our economy as a crop and as a part in ethanol production‚ and through genetic engineering of corn. Food As one should know corn can be eaten by humans. Corn has been feeding humans for a long time. Now that the

The chemical formula for fuel CH3CH2OH‚ it is also known as Ethyl alcohol and can be found as several ’Blends’. This type of energy‚ Ethanol can be used as

Abstract A distillation experiment was performed in attempt to separate two miscible fluids.This experiment used fractional distillation to separate ethanol from the azeotropic mixture of ethanol and water. The initial composition of the solution did not matter because the goal of the experiment was to distill the ethanol-water solution and obtain 95% ethanol in the distilled fraction. The percentage composition is obtained by the calculated density of distilled product. The azeotropicmixture was separated

alternative energy : bio fuel - "Ethanol in the Race of the Bio-Fuels " By: Thomas Dwyane Much talk has been going on about the use of the so-called alternative fuel sources in order to answer the demand of preserving the environment. One of the highest possible sources of this alternative fuel is ethanol‚ or that fuel which is derived from corn. Ethanol‚ also known as ethyl alcohol or grain alcohol or more commonly referred to simply as alcohol‚ is a flammable‚ colorless‚ and slightly toxic chemical

particular lab‚ one might have a researchable question as so: "Does ethanol effect cell membranes?" To this question many hypotheses were formed. For this personal experiment‚ if the concentration of ethanol is increased‚ then it is expected that the cell membrane of the beet root will be damaged‚ resulting in the release of more betacyanin. To test this‚ a beet root was cut into identical portions to then be soaked in various ethanol solutions for five minutes each. After the incubation‚ the absorbance

1. What is a renewable resource? Why is ethanol described as a renewable resource? * A renewable resource is a natural resource with the ability to reproduce through biological or natural processes and replenished with the passage of time. Renewable resources are part of our natural environment and form our eco-system. * Ethanol fuel is ethanol (ethyl alcohol)‚ the same type of alcohol found in alcoholic beverages. It is most often used as a motor fuel‚ mainly as a biofuel additive

subsequently captured and cooled‚ and the condensed vapors are collected. Among the many types of distillations‚ the fractional method or technique of distillation was used in this experiment. A step by step procedure was followed and an amount of 3.33 % of ethanol was obtained from the sample wine‚ Mateus Rose‚ which was used. Further discussion on the results obtained‚ as well as related terms‚ shall be discussed in detail in the following pages. Introduction With these in mind‚ the objectives of this

Extraction of Ethanol” from Jackfruit Pulp (Artocarpus heterophyllus) as an alternative source of ethanol. Statement of the Problem Generally‚ this study aims to determine if jackfruit pulp (Artocarpus heterophyllus) can be a source of ethanol. Specifically‚ this study aims to answer the following questions: 1. Is there a significant relationship between the percent yield of ethanol and the different lengths of fermentation of the jackfruit pulp (Artocarpus heterophyllus)? 2. Is there a significant
