How Does Ethene Convert Into Ethanol?

82 Words1 Page

thanol is the desired product for the experiment, and it can be produced in various methods. Traditionally, it can be produced by the fermentation of sugar, starches, or cellulose. Synthetic ethanol can also be produced from ethene with the use of steam and catalyst. In scheme 1, it shows the reaction of how ethene converts into ethanol. Using catalyst, often time H3PO4, and running the reaction in 300°C with high pressure and high steam, ethene will react with water and produces ethanol.

  • Isolation In Ethan Frome

    665 Words  | 3 Pages

    How a man goes about dealing with his past experiences portrays not only his character, but also his true inner self. This is especially true in Edith Wharton’s novel Ethan Frome. The main character, Ethan Frome, struggles with the consequences of his decision to marry his wife Zenobia following the loss of his parents. Ethan made this disastrous decision because of a feeling of obligation from societal pressure and ancestral conservatism. Wharton controls Frome like a puppet throughout the story displaying his perpetual contentions with his mistake-ridden marriage and uses it to power the novel as a whole.

  • Ethan Frome Reaction Paper

    This summer, I was presented with the opportunity to read a classic book that goes by the name of Ethan Frome. At the beginning of the book, I was very lost and did not understand much of it because of the dialect that was being used in the book. As I kept reading it, I learned to accept it and I actually started to understand it a lot more. While reading this book, I had many thoughts about Ethan’s behavior, but my main thought was why would Ethan go and try to be with somebody else while he was already undoubtedly committed to a woman named Zeena?

  • Butanol Vs Ethanol Research Paper

    551 Words  | 3 Pages

    Butanol or butyl alcohol can be demonstrated to work in the Internal Combustion (IC) engine designed for use with gasoline without modification. It can be produced from biomass (biobutanol) as well as fossil fuels (petro-butanol). Both biobutanol and petro-butanol have the same chemical properties. Butanol is less corrosive than ethanol and has higher energy content than ethanol, similar energy content in gasoline. In comparison to ethanol, butanol is less prone to water contamination.

  • 9-Fluorenone Lab Report

    The yellow solution containing the reactants was slowly poured into the beaker containing the cold water and the acid in order to cause the precipitation of the alcohol, 9-fluorenol and to destroy (hydrolyzed) the unreacted excess sodium borohydride. Subsequently, the white precipitate was vacuum filtered and washed twice with 20.0 ml portions of distilled cold water by pouring the liquid into the Buchner Funnel during filtration. It was necessary to wash the alcohol prior to recrystallization considering that the C-OH bond is easily broken by the formation of a stable and benzylic carbocation that favors the synthesis of difluorenyl ether. Finally, before the purification by recrystallization of the obtained product, the white solid alcohol was allowed to dry over a period of a

    The first section of the of the Corinthian II (Image 2 )has more weight in it. This weight is created by the energy represented in the diagonal lines, that in addition to already represent movement or energy the deep and dark color of the oil paint gives a greater sense of power to the lines. The come together to impact the only horizontal line, which are associated with strength and power. The diagonals shock the horizontal line with such energy that the horizontal line is bent, to the point that a small portion of the energy in the diagonal lines is transferred to the other section that is nearly clear of energy except for the impact point. This is how Kline created symmetrical balance in the Corinthian II, by dividing his work in two sections and giving one substantially more weight and the other section close to no weight.

  • The Pros And Cons Of Ethanol Fuel

    359 Words  | 2 Pages

    The article states that ethanol fuel which produce by plants, has been supplanted by some of people as replacement to gasoline in the United States and provides three reasons of support. However, the professor explains that ethanol fuel is a good alternative fuel instead of gasoline gas and refutes each of the author’s reasons. First of all, the author of the reading passage claims that ethanol fuel does not help to solve the major problem of environment such as global warming that release carbon dioxide as a greenhouse gas like gasoline, this greenhouse gas traps heat in the atmosphere of earth. The professor refutes this point by saying that increase of ethanol fuel does not add the greenhouse gas in atmosphere, because carbon dioxide released

    81% of our energy comes from fossil fuels to run our cars, fly planes, and heat our homes. According to research by The Global Education Project, the world is consuming more fossil fuels then we are discovering. Since fossil fuels are a nonrenewable resource, if we run out of fossil fuels than there will be no more to use. What would happen if we ran out of fossil fuels? Ethanol is a renewable fuel source made from crops like corn and other plant materials.

    Task 1 : Advert: 1. Alcohol is indirectly portrayed in each advert as something that is negative and has a degrading effect on one's life. In both adverts, we see the individuals perform actions that make them look ragged and uncouth, such as the boy smearing food on himself and the girl smudging her makeup, and we can thus deduce that this is the negative, degrading effect of alcohol. 2. It may cause the viewer to question their binge drinking.

  • Methanogenesis Of Methane

    704 Words  | 3 Pages

    Introduction Methane in the earth atmosphere is an important greenhouse gas with global warming potential 23 times greater than carbon dioxide and considerable evidence of climate change is also associated with emission of greenhouse gases (GHG), mainly carbon dioxide (CO2), methane (CH4) and nitrous oxide (N2O), in the atmosphere (IPCC, 2007). The primary sources of methane emission may be divided into natural (30%) and anthropogenic (70%) (Wuebbles & Hayhoe, 2001). Among the anthropogenic factors agriculture, including animal production is a major sector with highly significant contribution to environmental pollution. According to Steinfeld et al. (2006), 80 million tonnes of methane is released annually to the atmosphere from animal production
