This question is about ethanol. Ethanol that is suitable for use as a fuel can be manufactured from sugars such as glucose, C6H12O6, by a two-step process. Describe how this can be done. In your answer, include: ● ● an equation for the reaction in which ethanol is formed ● ● the essential conditions for the reaction in which ethanol is formed ● ● the name of the process used to obtain ethanol that is pure enough to use as a fuel from the reaction mixture. The equation for the complete combustion of ethanol is shown. H C H H C H H O H O O + H O H + O C O Use the bond energies in the table to calculate the energy change, in kJ / mol, for the complete combustion of ethanol. bond bond energy in kJ / mol C–C C–H C–O C=O O–H O=O ● ● Energy needed to break bonds.  kJ ● ● Energy released when bonds are formed.  kJ ● ● Energy change for the complete combustion of ethanol.  energy change = kJ / mol  Ethanol can be oxidised by hydrogenperoxide to form ethanal, CH3CHO. A catalyst for this reaction is Fe3+. What is meant by the term catalyst ? The structure of ethanal is shown. H C H H C H O Complete the dot-and-cross diagram to show the electron arrangement in a molecule of ethanal. Show outer shell electrons only. H H H H C C O  The table gives the boiling points of ethanal and ethanol. substance boiling point / °C ethanal ethanol In terms of attractive forces between particles, suggest why ethanal has a lower boiling point than ethanol. Ethene gas reacts with steam to form gaseous ethanol. C2H4+ H2OCH3CH2OHThe reaction can reach a position of equilibrium. The forward reaction is exothermic. State and explain the effect of increasing the pressure on the position of equilibrium. All other conditions are unchanged. Increasing the pressure of a gas increases its concentration. State and explain the effect of increasing the pressure on the rate of the reaction. All other conditions are unchanged. State and explain the effect of increasing the temperature on the position of equilibrium. All other conditions are unchanged.
