viscosity‚ high paste clarity‚ and high freeze- thaw stability‚ which are advantageous to many industries. Ethanol is generally produced by the fermentation of sugar‚ cellulose or converted starch and has along history. In Nigeria‚ local production of ethanol from maze‚ guinea corn‚ millet‚ cassava and cellulose is as old as the country itself. Apart from food and pharmaceutical uses‚ ethanol is finding itself alternative uses for biofuel in most of the developed world for the reasons: it is not poisonous

Experiment #1 Preparation of Ethanol from Sucrose Based on R. Weglein & C.L> Yau‚ CHEM 203 Experiments in Organic Chemistry II Laboratory‚ 5th Edition‚ 2006‚ p29-32. Statement of Purpose: An aqueous solution of ethanol is prepared by the fermentation of sucrose. The percent alcohol is the resulting solution and the percent conversions of the sucrose are to be determined. Introduction: Sucrose is a molecule containing glucose and fructose. http://faculty.tcc.fl.edu/scma/phelpsj/experiments/ethanol

the effect of different concentrations of ethanol on the permeability of beetroot cell membranes. Prediction: By exposing a membrane to a solvent‚ ethanol‚ it will increase its permeability. So the higher the concentration of the solvent‚ the more permeable the membrane will be. But if the concentration of the ethanol is beyond a certain limit‚ it may break down the cell membrane to the point where there is in fact no overall effect as the ethanol would disturb the lipids in the membrane.

Synthesis of 1-Bromobutane from 1-Butanol Reference: Discovering Organic Chemistry in the Laboratory; John R. Ganson Ph. D‚ Revised 2011 by Alfredo Mellace Ph. D www.Aldrich.com Purpose: To synthesize 1-bromobutane from 1-butanol via SN2 reaction. Alcohols are converted into the alkyl halides adding an aqueous solution sodium bromide. The sulfuric acid acts as a catalyst in converting the OH functional group of butanol‚ to a better leaving group. In order for this reaction to synthesis 1-Bromobutane

ETHANOL (E85): Types of fuels are ethanol‚ natural gas‚ diesel and hydrogen. Ethanol is simply grain alcohol obtained from corn. The corn is ground to powder form and mixed into a mash that is distilled to obtain ethanol which is a flammable liquid and then used as fuel. The ethanol could be mixed with gasoline blend in order to obtain reduced cost. In addition‚ the emission of Co2 would be reduced‚ but not completely eradicated because of its content of 90 percent gasoline and 10 percent ethanol

A: Dehydration of 1-butanol & 2-Butanol/Part B: Dehydrobromination of 1-Bromobutane & 2-Bromobutane Abstract The objective of this experiment is to successfully perform a dehydration of 1-butanol and 2-butanol‚ also dehydrobromination of 1-bromobutane and 2-bromobutane to form the alkene products 1-butene‚ trans-2-butene‚ and cis-2-butene. The dehydration reactions react under and acid-catalysis which follows an E1 mechanism. It was found that dehydration of 1-butanol yielded 3.84% cis-2-butene

Carbohydrate: Ethanol from Sucrose Abstract The purpose of this lab was to demonstrate the fermentation process of ethanol from the substrate sucrose. To make ethanol from sucrose two enzymes invertase and zymase were used. Vacuum filtration and fractional distillation were performed to get a more concentrated solution. The density of ethanol was .825 g/mL with a percent composition of 85% pure ethanol. Introduction

source is ethanol (C2H5OH). It is an alcohol fuel manufactured by fermentation and distillation of crops that are high with starch and sugar‚ such as grains‚ sugarcane (most commonly used)‚ corn‚ and fruit. Other names for ethanol are ethyl alcohol‚ drinking alcohol‚ and grain alcohol. It can also be made from trees‚ grasses‚ woods‚ and plant waste. It is a colourless‚ flammable liquid that is categorized under bio-fuel. Brazil is the largest suppler and consumer of ethanol in the world. Ethanol functions
