How much ethanol will 1 bushel of grain yeild?
536215
Depends on the technology used for conversion and how efficient the operation is managed.  However, in general 2.65 to 2.72 gallons of ethanol can be expected from each bushel of #2 yellow corn.  Other feedstocks have other conversion ratios

Hi there, try this link... it's a pretty good comprehensive listing directory of , plants refiners etc all around the Ethanol industry in the USA. \n\nhttp://www.distill.com/usa.html\n\nALSO as a return fovor can you send me a short email indicating why you want to invest?  I am also looking for good growth investments and would appreciate your feedback.  My email is like1m@yahoo.com\n\nThanks\nMike

Ethanol = -1277.1 kJ/mol\n\nButanol = -2078 kJ/mol

Dude...the question still can't be answered unless you know the density of grain.  Is that not given?

Ethanol is being produced.  It just depends on which part of the country you live in, its largely produced in the N.E.\nEthanol has been in production since 1985 producing 175 million gallons, and now in 2005 producing 3,904 million gallons.  \nThe US produced 4,227 million gallons of Ethanol last year alone.

A bushel is a measure of mass (ie. space taken up) used by Britain and the US.\nIn both versions, it's equal to 8 quarts.\nIn the Imperial (UK) System, that's about 9.09 litres.\nIn the US dry weight system, that's about 7.57 litres.\n\nSo it's impossible to say precisely how many soybeans will be in a bushel, and it will depend whether you're using US or UK measurements.

You could make ethanol from grass clippings, though as others have pointed out you are more likely to end up with methanol. Not that this is a major problem, methanol is a perfectly effective fuel in its own right.\n\n\nThe real problem is one of efficiency. Grass clippings are very dispersed, in the sense that you can't harvest hundreds of tonnes of them every hour as you can with maize or cane. Because of that any ethanol production will be small scale, which is inherently inefficient. You would almost certainly end up using more fuel in the process than you would actually produce.\n\nRemember even cane or maize ethanol production doesn't actually produce fuel. We currently use more fossil fuels producing ethanol then the ethanol actually replaces. Ethanol is an economic and political exercise, it has no environmental benefits.

Interesting...many studies have been conducted regarding Ethanol.  Keep in mind that ethanol is produced from corn.  If every single farm in America grew corn we'd be able to replace about 8% of our oil imports...not really enough to make a significant impact.  Also keep in mind that if for any reason the crop of corn was destroyed, be that storm or drout, we would have no product to convert into ethanol and no fuel.  Before you read on please keep in mind that I'm a registered independent...Under the Bush administration quite a bit of effort was put into the creation of a new agency within the DOE (Department of Energy) called the Energy Efficiency and Renewables Dept....within that department the Hydrogen Infrastructure and Technologies Program was established.  Why Hydrogen?  Because it can't be politicized, don't have to worry about drouts or damaged crops and hydrogen comprises 80+% of the mass in our universe (not something we're likely to run out of anytime soon).  http://www.hydrogen.energy.gov/   According to the "Posture Plan" our economy will be carbon free by 2060 with hydrogen as the likely successor.  Also check out Canada's FCC (Fuel Cell Canada) for their plan to globally commercialize fuel cells.\n\nOur current president has done great things when it come to decreasing our dependence on foreign oil.  Just gotta know where to look.  Try this        http://thomas.loc.gov/      and under "search bill text" type the word hydrogen and you'll see every piece of legislation dealing with hydrogen as an alternative fuel.

The answer is 2.5 gallons of ethanol.  Check out the link.

A n energy related project:\n\n1.  Ethanol production, ferment and distill - very easy.  Ethanol is used in gasoline, made from fermented sugar or starch.  Combine sugar, water, and yeast, covered so no air gets in (a plastic bottle with a balloon over the neck).  Let ferment 3 -5 days, balloon will go up then down.  Then in a small pot, put in 3/4 inch of the liquid and a small glass in the middle.  Invert the pot cover and put ice and water in it.  Boil very slowly till about 1/4 of the liquid is gone.  Cool down and you'll have ethanol in the small glass.  Repeat distillation to increase concentration of ethanol.

... what's the specific gravity of the mixture?\nSince the total volume is the sum of the two ingredients, there was no volume loss due to mixing. (Sometimes there is; water and ethanol are an example.) Then the total mass is 6*0.8 + 5 * 1 = 9.8 kg and the sp. gr. = 9.8/11 = 0.8909 kg/L.

31.1034768 g\n\nFrom attached article:\nA troy ounce, the only currently used unit of the system, is 480 grains, somewhat heavier than an avoirdupois ounce (437.5 grains). A grain is exactly 64.798 91 mg, hence one troy ounce is exactly 31.103 476 8 g, about 10 per cent more than the avoirdupois ounce, which is exactly 28.349 523 125 g.

You mean Ethanol. In the upper mid-west of USA it is corn (cool climate). In tropical(hot) climates it is sugar. Both require much heat (energy) to reduce or change the product into ethanol.

First, distill off the alcohol. With ethanol, the best you can get is 95% purity, the remaining 5% is water. There are cheap zeolites and hygroscopic salts such as CaCl2 or NaOH available which can further reduce the amount of water. If you are still not happy, you can get absolute alcohols by using magnesium. And magnesium ribbons or turnings are relatively cheap, too. Place (50-100 g) magnesium in a flask, put some amount of alcohol just to cover the magnesium. Leave for a few hours until you see white magnesium alkoxide being formed on the surface of the metal. Caution: exothermic reaction. Use the tallest distillation column you can find. Do not stir the mixture. Just leave it there. When you have now a lot of magnesium alkoxide you can add more alcohol (up to 2 liters). The alkoxide will destroy any water in the alcohol and you now can distill off your absolute alcohols. For methanol and ethanol, formation of the alkoxide takes only a few hours. For other alcohols, you might need to activate the magnesium by adding some solid iodine and heating to activate the magnesium. Don't distill to dryness. The remaining alkoxide reacts violently with water. Use alcohol-water mixture when disposing them. Sounds fun, doesn't it? =)

Water nas ethanol are totally miscibile with one another.  I do not immediately know what the mixed volume is (other than it will be less than 2 liters), but equal volumes of water and ethanol should give a 50 percent solution or 100 proof. \nThe word proof came to be used because such alcoholic liquids (100 proof and above) will burn (giving proof).

You'd need 4 L of dehydrated alcohol and 1 L of water in order to get a 80% solution. Getting a dry solution of ethanol would be a challenge, though, so I would expect it to be closer to 75-77% in actuality (but theoretically 80)

The energy produced by burning Ethanol would be classified as chemical energy, if that is what you are asking.
