What is the chemical property or application of Ethanol?

Expert Solution

Solution:

Chemical Properties of ethanol

1.Chemical Formula - CH3-CH2-OH

2.Melting point - -117.3 C

3. Boiling Point - 78.5 C

4. It is miscible in water but seperation is difficult since it forms azeotropic mixture with water

5. Ethanol burns inair with blue flame forming CO2 and Water.

Applications:

1. Ethanol is used as a solvent in the manufacture of varnishes and perfumes.

2. Ethanol is used in manufacturing of drug and medicine,

3. Ethanol is also used as fuel and fuel additive in engine.

4. Ethanol is used in a medical wipes and most commonly in antibacterial sanitizer

Write the balanced chemical equation for ethanol C2H6O burning in air as a LEAN mixture if the reactant side of the reaction is C2H6O + ?(O2 + 3.76N2) ===> ? CO2 + H2O + ? ????? NOTE: A LEAN mixture means you have more air than you need to burn all the fuel. You will have excess oxygen left over after the reaction process.
