Why are you taking chemistry class?​

Because it helps me connects other sciences to each other, such as biology, physics, geology, and environmental science. Basic knowledge of chemistry helps you to read and understand product labels. Chemistry can help you make informed decisions.

(Happpy to help!)

Because chemistry class is very important.

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.
