Sugar and ethanol (a liquid fuel in gasoline) are both made of the same 3 atoms (carbon, hydrogen, oxygen). First, describe how their properties are different from each other. Then, explain how it is possible for them to be so different even though they are made of the same atoms.

Ethanol fuel is an alcohol-based type of biofuel that is used as a popular alternative to gasoline. It is made from distilled plant and biodegradable materials, such as corn and sugar, as opposed to regular gasoline, which is made from refined oil. While it is slightly more expensive than regular gasoline, when ethanol is blended with regular gasoline in the correct proportions, it can produce a fuel with a higher octane rating and fewer harmful emissions than regular gasoline. In this step-by-step guide, we will go over how to make ethanol in small batches for personal use.

Part 1 of 3: Preparing your materials

Materials Needed

Biodegradable materials (fruit/corn/grains)

Distilled water

Ethanol production permits and paperwork

Ethanol-tolerant yeast solution

Gasoline

Hydrometer

Large bin with lid, such as a barrel or garbage bin

Measuring cup

Pole or blunt object (for mashing up biodegradable materials)

Reflux still

Water separator kit

Explanation:

first, consult an activity series chart to determine if al is more reactive than fe. it is, so it will replace the fe. now, one can continue with the problem.

next, make sure you have a correctly balanced equation.

3feo + 2al ==> 3fe + al2o3

now, determine which reactant (feo or al) is in limiting supply.

moles feo present = 125 g x 1 mole/71.8 g = 1.74 moles

moles al present = 25.0 g x 1 mole/26.98 g = 0.927 moles

since from the balanced equation, it take 3 mol feo for every 2 mol al, al will be limiting.

you can determine this simply by dividing moles of each by their coefficient in the balanced equation. for example: 1.74/3 = 0.58 and 0.927/2 = 0.464. al is less, so it is limiting.

finally, using the stoichiometry in the balanced eq. determine mass of fe that can be produced from 0.927 moles of al.

0.927 moles al x 3 moles fe/2 moles al x 55.8 g/mole = 77.6 g
