- Alcohols
- Ethanol is made through fermentation
- Glucose ---> ethanol + carbon dioxide
- C6H12O6 ---> 2C2H5OH + 2CO2
- Reaction is catalysed through yeast enzymes
- Only happen if no oxygen is present
- If air is present, ethanoic acid is created
- Glucose ---> ethanol + carbon dioxide
- General formula for an alcohol is CnH2n+1OH
- Only ethanol is made through fermentation
- Renewable fuel if got from plants-can be grown quickly
- Non renewable from ethene-comes from fossil fuels
- Ethene+water---> ethanol
- C2H4+H2O ---> C2H5OH
- Ethene+water---> ethanol
- Ethanol is made through fermentation
