Making Alcohols by Fermentation & from Ethene

The video tutorial covers the uses of alcohol in products like antifreeze and hand sanitizers. It explains the fermentation process, where sugars are converted into ethanol and carbon dioxide using yeast. The tutorial also describes the production of ethanol from ethene, highlighting the use of water and phosphoric acid as a catalyst. It compares the two methods, noting that fermentation uses renewable resources and less energy, while the ethene method is faster but relies on non-renewable crude oil.
