What does alcohol do in gasoline?
The level of interest in using alcohol as a motor fuel has followed cycles of fuel shortages and/or low feed-grain prices.Alcohols burn more completely, thus increasing combustion efficiency.There are many disadvantages to using alcohols, particularly methyl and ethyl alcohol.Advantages of mixing alcohol with gasoline are that alcohol tends to increase the octane rating and reduce carbon monoxide emissions.Alcohols may corrode certain materials used in engines.Alcohol has been used as a fuel for internal combustion engines since their invention. Reports on the use of alcohol as a motor fuel were published in 1907 and detailed research was conducted in the 1920s and 1930s. Historically, the level of interest in using alcohol as a motor fuel has followed cycles of fuel shortages and/or low feed-grain prices.The properties of methyl, ethyl and butyl alcohol are compared with octane (high quality gasoline) and hexadecane (high quality diesel fuel) in Table 1. Note that octane and hexadecane (petroleum fuels) have higher boiling points, lower latent heats and are insoluble in water. The alcohols become more like petroleum fuels as their chemical weights increase.Methyl alcohol has the lowest combustion energy of all the fuels listed. However, it also has the lowest stoichiometric or chemically correct air-fuel ratio. Therefore, an engine burning methyl alcohol would produce the most power. It also is possible to take advantage of the higher octane ratings of methyl (and ethyl) alcohol and increase the engine compression ratio. This would increase the efficiency of converting the potential combustion energy to power. Finally, alcohols burn more completely, thus increasing combustion efficiency.
Is ethanol commonly called grain alcohol?
Called Grain Alcohol, drinking alcohol, ethyl alcohol or pure alcohol
What kind of alcohol is grain alcohol?

Are the properties of ethyl alcohol and ethanol the same?

Is 90 percent isopropyl and grain alcohol the same thing?
No. Grain alcohol is ethyl alcohol. Isopropyl alcohol is a different compound and is not safe to drink.
What is the formula of ethylalcohal?
Ethyl (grain) alcohol has the formula of C2H5OH.
What is the difference between ethyl and methyl alcohol?
Methanol, also known as methyl alcohol, is madeof molecules containing one methyl group, with a chemical structure of CH3-OH. Methanol is highly toxic if inhaled, drunk, or absorbed through the skin and can cause blindness. Ethyl alcohol is the same as ethanol or grain alcohol. I has two methyl groups and looks like CH3-CH3-OH. This is the type of alcohol found in the alcoholic beverages people consume. Both compounds are organic and are good solvents and fixatives.
Is grain alcohol a compound?
Grain alcohol or ethyl alcohol is included in the group of a class of organic compound which is given the common name alcohols. Grain alcohol is also the hallucinogenic ingredient of various alcoholic beverages.
What is the name for CH3-CH2-OH?
The name is ethanol and it si also called ethyl alcohol, pure alcohol, grain alcohol, or drinking alcohol.
What are slang names for Alcohol?
booze canned heat fire water hard stuff moonshine red-eye rotgut tipple toddy scoops sauce
What are all the common uses of ethanol?
Ethanol is also called ethyl alcohol, pure alcohol, grain alcohol, or drinking alcohol, is a volatile, flammable, colorless liquid.
Is grain alcohol more sanitary than rubbing alcohol. I have been using grain alcohol for antibacterial usage rather than using the gel antibacterial lotions. But grain alcohol costs 15 per liter.?
"Grain alcohol" is ethyl alcohol (ethanol). Gel antibacterial lotions are typically somewhere around 70% ethyl alcohol. Ethyl alcohol is most potent as an antiseptic when diluted slightly with water to somewhere around that 70% ethyl alcohol range. If you're buying "grain alcohol" that is 190 proof (95%) or greater, and using it straight as an antiseptic, then you're not getting the best value for your money.Rubbing alcohol is typically 70% isopropyl alcohol. It too is a good antiseptic.The gel antibacterial lotions are easier to apply, less messy, and they contain emollients that prevent the skin from being dried out by the alcohol. Generally speaking they are the best solution to the problem, combine with thorough washing several times a day.As for which is better, I suppose it all comes down to concentration and application, but all should work just fine.
What is the difference between grain alcohol and rubbing alcohol?
Difference In Grain and Rubbing AlcoholIf memory serves me correctly, grain alcohol is derived from the fermentation of various grains, with the most common being from corn, and it's safe to consume. On the other hand, rubbing alcohol contains isopropyl alcohol (which is a chemically made alcohol), and usually contains additional water and sometimes glycerine, and isn't intended to be substituted for either grain or wood alcohol. To drink it would make one very ill and may even be lethal, or cause blindness. In other words grain alcohol is not equal to rubbing alcohol. period.steph says no.
