Two new catalyst systems take aim at these problems. One catalyst splits ethanol to give hydrogen at 270 °C and produces ...

Catalysts Transform Hydrogen Production With Lower Temperatures and Carbon Neutrality Recently, groundbreaking advancements ...

Most alcohols are toxic, but some animals (including us humans) are able to metabolize low doses of ethanol, a molecule produced by yeast (Saccharomyces cerevisiae) as it digests plant materials.

Usually when we here about E. Coli, it's in the context of people getting sick after eating tainted food. Now a modified version of the bacteria could be part of the solution to getting beyond ...

ethanol or propanol, are added to water, they mix easily to produce a solution. However, the solubility decreases as the length of the alcohol molecule gets longer, so butanol is less soluble than ...

Since the C=O came from the parent acid, there were four carbon atoms in the acid molecule (butanoic acid) and two carbon atoms in the parent alcohol (ethanol). This ester is called ethyl butanoate.
