Home Chemistry 10 – Alcohol(s)
So further to the previous experiment. I am going to have a go at fermentation. I have the equipment required including an airlock
The experiment detailed in my previous post should produce ethanoic acid, where as this experiment will produce the alcohol (ethanol) $\ce{C2H5OH}$ As I am using an airlock.
Again, will try this at the next stem group meeting on 11th Feb, with the view to also doing something similar at the STEM Group meeting on 11th March as this coincides with Science week. We have other things planned for that too.
The use of universal indicator paper should help determine what is produced.
Please note: This activity is NOT designed to teach anyone how to make Alcohol, it is designed to demonstrate the chemical processes involved in fermentation.
