Ethanol is a substituted hydrocarbon. The "ol" suffix used in ethanol is for the functional group -OH, or alochol group. When any functional group is attached to a pure hydrocarbon, that hydrocarbon shows properties of that functional group. 
For ethane as well, which have molecular formula of C2H6, when one hydrogen is substituted by one -OH group it becomes C2H5OH which we call as ethanol or ethyl alcohol. If two hydrogen are substituted, it becomes -diol and as such.
There are number of ways to prepare ethanol by pure hydrocarbon. Generally ethanol can be prepared by fermentation of starch and molasses. Also various organic reaction gives ethanol as product. When ethene is  reacted with steam catalysed by phosphoric acid.

This make people such as Carrie believes that the carousel horses are accelerating while it actually stayed at constant pace.

Does the amount of methanol increase, decrease, or remain the same when an equilibrium mixture of reactants and products is subj
denis23 [38]

Answer:

a. Methanol remains the same

b. Methanol decreases

c. Methanol increases

d. Methanol remains the same

e. Methanol increases

Explanation:

Methanol is produced by the reaction of carbon monoxide and hydrogen in the presence of a catalyst as follows; 2H2+CO→CH3OH.

a) The presence or absence of a catalyst makes no difference on the equilibrium position of the system hence the methanol remains constant.

b) The amount of methanol decreases because the equilibrium position shifts towards the left and more reactants are formed since the reaction is exothermic.

c) If the volume is decreased, there will be more methanol in the system because the equilibrium position will shift towards the right hand side.

d) Addition of helium gas has no effect on the equilibrium position since it does not participate in the reaction system.

e) if more CO is added the amount of methanol increases since the equilibrium position will shift towards the right hand side.
