When gas contains 10 percent ethanol how much ethanol is in a gallon of gas?

For every gallon of gas containing 10% ethanol (referred to as E10 gas), it will contain 1/10th gallon of ethanol (about 12 ounces by volume). Ethanol is primarily used to oxygenate the gas and replace the chemical MBTE, which pollutes groundwater. HOWEVER, since most ethanol in the US comes from corn, it is important to note that using ethanol in gasoline causes GREATER pollution than just gasoline alone. This is because it actually takes more energy to produce corn based ethanol than is extracted from it. Until better technologies for ethanol production are available (e.g. algae), it is best for the environment to avoid gas containing ethanol if possible (some states mandate it).

A solution is 10 percent ethanol if you have 6L of solution how much ethanol is is the solution?
10% of 6L is 600 ml. 6000 / 100 * 10 = 600 ml.
What volume of ethanol 96 percent should be added to 500 ml of 70 percent ethanol such that when the mix is made to 2.5l with water the final conc of ethanol is 55 percent?
First calculate how much ethanol you need in the final solution. 55% X 2.5l = 1.375l Then calculate how much ethanol you already have in the solution. 0.5l X 70% = 0.35l Now take the difference between those two numbers as the extra amount needed. 1.375l - 0.35l = 1.025l Now correct for the fact that you are adding only 96% ethanol. 1.025l / 96% = 1.068l Answer: 1.068l

How can you test a product to see if it contains Isopropyl Alcohol or Ethanol?
It depends how much you think it might have... if it has a lot, it will be flammable, and have a easily identifiable odor (isopropyl alcohol is rubbing alcohol, and ethanol is the alcohol in alcoholic beverages).Small amounts will be harder to test for without doing a more involved chemical test.

How many miles per gallon less with ethanol enhanced gasoline?
Expect around a 15% decline in fuel mileage over conventional gasoline. Ok, so if I'm paying $4.00 / gallon for 10 % ethanol gas and loosing 15 % mileage that means if I can find 100 % gasoline with no ethanol at $4.60 / gallon I'm getting basically the same thing. So if I pay $4.10 / gallon for real gas without ethanol, I just saved $.50 / gallon over the ethanol low output gas. This should make shopping allot easier, as long as the stations are required to post how much ethanol they are selling versus real gas.
