All alcohols' consist of a hydrocarbon named 'ethanol', now ethanol is a strand made up of two carbons five hydrogen's and one OH group (hydroxol) thus ethanol is considered to be a hydrocarbon. The three main building blocks to producing alcohols are: Sugars: there are many different types of sugars some include: Starches: Cellulose: All three of these compounds added with ethanol can create a wide range of alcohols, anything from beer (left) to wine (…

…process, ironically one of the best ways to speed up the fermentation process is to use human saliva which rapidly speeds up the process. Some future uses of ethanol can be to power Hydrogen fuel cells which I believe would make sense because ethanol is a hydrocarbon and it contains numerous amounts of hydrogen's and carbons so to fuel a Hydrogen fuel cell what it would need would be Hydrogen's which ethanol is abundant in.
