Ethanol, C,H0, is most often blended with gasoline - usually as a 10 percent mix - to create a fuel called gasohol. Ethanol is a renewable resource and ethanol-blended fuels, like gasohol, appear to burn more efficiently in combustion engines. The heat of combustion of ethanol is 326.7 kcal/mol. The heat of combustion of 2-methylheptane, C3H18, is 1.306×10³ kcal/mol. How much energy is released during the complete combustion of 482 grams of 2-methylheptane ? kcal Assuming the same efficiency, would 482 grams of ethanol provide more, less, or the same amount of energy as 482 grams of 2- methylheptane v more less

Write the main reaction in the soap synthesis experiment. What is the role of ethanol in this experiment?
High fructose corn syrup (HFCS) is a sweetener that was designed in the 1970s, which takes corn starch and chemically modifies it to have a mixture of the constitutional isomers glucose and fructose (both of the formula C6H12O6). HFCS 55 is the type found in US sodas (like Coca Cola) and it contains 55.1% fructose molecules and 44.9% glucose molecules. Given that information, calculate how many molecules of fructose would be found in a can of coca cola if the amount of HFCS used were 67.5 g? Use the correct number of significant figures. *Input answer as: 6.022x10^23
