Alcohol – in theory and practice

How is alcohol oxidated?

How does alcohol affect the body?

How is alcohol produced?

How do you distillate alcohol?

Oxidation of alcohol

C2H5OH(alcohol)

+ O2 → 2 CH3CHO + 2 H2O

(ethanal)

2 CH3CHO

(ethanal)

+ O2 → 2 CH3COOH

(acetic acid)

2 CH3COOH

(acetic acid)

+ 2 O2 → 2 H2O + 2 CO2

Antabus

Delays ethanals transformed to

acetic acid

Reaction- and concentration skillBy consumption of alcohol, this react with the fat in the cellmembrane.

The connection between nervecells in the brain, the central nervous system, the glands and the muscles changes.

Shortly, this results in a weakening of the reaction- and concentration skills.

The SleepThere is to kinds of sleep – REM-sleep (Rapid Eye Movements) and ortho-sleep

These two replace each other all the time during the sleep.

During the REM-sleep many rebuildingprocesses take place. Among others, the long time memory.

If you drink alcohol this process will be reduced a lot, depending on how much alcohol you drink

… but it also reduces the ability to have sex.

The alcohol and ethanal (a substance from the burn of alcohol) hinders the synthesis of testosteron.

… and that is very important for the male potency.

How to produce alcohol!

C6H12O6 + H2 O (enxymes in the liver

use hydrogen)

yeast

2C2H5OH + 2CO2

The yeast eats the sugar and the faeces it makes is the alcohol we drink!

Distillation of alcohol!Now we have our alcohol…

The alcohol percenttage is about…

3,93 %

… it can not get higher. Yeastcells dies when the alcoholpercenttage

is about 10-12 %

But we want it to be higher!

Distillation of alcohol!

Step by Step

1) Put the alcohol into this instrument

2) The alcohol starts to boil

3) The alcoholsteam will rise through this glasspipe

4) Go down through this pipe, which will cool it of with circulating water.

And now we wait…

And we wait…

Finally the destillated alcohol begins to drop…

Now we have our alcohol14,5 ml * 0,88 g/ml = 12,76

 12,76g * 0,65 = 8.294

 Original mixture

 14,5 * 72,4% = 3,93 %
