Abstract
Ethanol can be found in cleaning solvents, medicines, colognes, and after shave. Ethanol is a benfit of gasoline; it helps lower carbon dioxide, hydrocarbon, and nitrogen emmisions. Ethanol is a clean burning alternative to gasoline. It can be beneficial to the skin because it acts as a cooling agent to the skin. The purpose of this project was to test and and see which mixture would make the most ethanol and which solution would be the purest to actual ethanol. The mixture of fructose, yeast, water and diosodium phosphate produced the most ethanol with 38 milliliters. The mixture of yeast, sucrose, water, and diosoduim phosphate was the purest in comparrison to ethanol. In the future, a common interset will be to find ways to produce ethanol at a faster pace and at a more abundant amount.
