  2. Ethanol - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ethanol

    Ethanol-water mixtures have less volume than the sum of their individual components at the given fractions. Mixing equal volumes of ethanol and water results in only 1.92 volumes of mixture. [76] [81] Mixing ethanol and water is exothermic, with up to 777 J/mol [82] being released at 298 K. Hydrogen bonding in solid ethanol at −186 °C

  3. Ethanol fuel - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ethanol_fuel

    The Saab 9-3 SportCombi BioPower was the second E85 flexifuel model introduced by Saab in the Swedish market. Ethanol fuel is fuel containing ethyl alcohol, the same type of alcohol as found in alcoholic beverages. It is most often used as a motor fuel, mainly as a biofuel additive for gasoline. Several common ethanol fuel mixtures are in use ...

  4. Alcohol (chemistry) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Alcohol_(chemistry)

    In chemistry, an alcohol (from the Arabic word al-kuḥl, الكحل) is a type of organic compound that carries at least one hydroxyl (−OH) functional group bound to a saturated carbon atom. [ 2 ][ 3 ] Alcohols range from the simple, like methanol and ethanol, to complex, like sugars and cholesterol. The presence of an OH group strongly ...

    Fermentation — Convert the carbon monoxide, carbon dioxide and hydrogen into ethanol using the Clostridium ljungdahlii organism; Distillation — Ethanol is separated from water; A 2002 study has found another Clostridium bacterium that seems to be twice as efficient in making ethanol from carbon monoxide as the one mentioned above.

  6. Pharmacology of ethanol - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pharmacology_of_ethanol

    [2] [78] At equilibrium, ethanol is present in all body fluids and tissues in proportion to their water content. Ethanol does not bind to plasma proteins or other biomolecules. [ 13 ] [ 2 ] [ 3 ] The rate of distribution depends on blood supply, [ 4 ] specifically the cross-sectional area of the local capillary bed and the blood flow per gram ...

    Ethanol fuel production by state. The United States became the world's largest producer of ethanol fuel in 2005. The U.S. produced 15.8 billion U.S. liquid gallons of ethanol fuel in 2019, and 13.9 billion U.S. liquid gallons (52.6 billion liters) in 2011, [1][2] an increase from 13.2 billion U.S. liquid gallons (49.2 billion liters) in 2010 ...

  8. Common ethanol fuel mixtures - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Common_ethanol_fuel_mixtures

    Ethanol fuel mixtures have "E" numbers which describe the percentage of ethanol fuel in the mixture by volume, for example, E85 is 85% anhydrous ethanol and 15% gasoline. Low-ethanol blends are typically from E5 to E25, although internationally the most common use of the term refers to the E10 blend. Blends of E10 or less are used in more than ...

  9. Properties of water - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Properties_of_water

    Water (H2O) is a polar inorganic compound that is at room temperature a tasteless and odorless liquid, which is nearly colorless apart from an inherent hint of blue. It is by far the most studied chemical compound [ 20 ] and is described as the "universal solvent " [ 21 ] and the "solvent of life". [ 22 ]
