Q

What is a disadvantage if using the hydrating method to make ethanol

A

Ethanol is produced from crude oil; this makes it non-renewable and so it will become expensive as resources start to run out

Q

What is the word equation for Fermentation

A

Sugar-> Carbon Dioxide + Ethanol

17
Q

How does Fermentation work

A

Convert sugar into Ethanol using yeast

18
Q

What do you need for fermentation

A

Lower Temperatures

Simpler Equipment

19
Q

What are 2 advantages of using Fermentation

A

Renewable as sugar is grown in many parts of the world

Can be used as a cheaper fuel in countries that don’t have oil reserves for making petrol

20
Q

What is a disadvantage of using Fermentation

A

Isn’t very concentrated so you still have to distil and purify it to increase its strength
