Question

Ethanol is mixed with methanol.​

Answer 1

Mixtures of up to 15% ethanol (or methanol) can be used as fuel in current engines with no modification. blends are known as M85 and E85 for methanol and ethanol, respectively. ... An ethanol/methanol car and engine could be lighter than a gasoline engine, and a car designed as a methanol car could be more efficient.

Answer 2

Answer:

For mixed methanol to ethanol, the ratio is 9–6. ... This observation can be easily justified as ethanol has lower reactivity as compared to methanol. For the case of mixed methanol–ethanol (ratio at 9–6), biodiesel yield attained was relatively high (81.4%) compared to reaction with solely methanol (71.7%).
