we often find products that use alcohol-based material. For alcohol that has a 1-5 carbon atom, it is called lowers alcohol. alcohol that has a 1-5 carbon atom in this group are used to solvents, extractants, and antifreezes. Ester of alcohol lowers can be products such as paint, ink, glue and varnish materials. Ester is also part of the alcohol. ester is the process of condensation reaction between acid and alcohol. So, acid + alcohol = ester + H2O. Is a bit complex, so let's see other uses of alcohol. Alcohol which has 6-11 carbon atoms called the plasticizer-range alcohols. The main function of plasticizer-range alcohols found in the ester is to lubricte machinery such as aircraft engine and car racing engine. And then detergent range alcohol. It is used in detergent that you use to wash clothes.alcohol can processed by natural products. Such as petroleum, coal, and natural gas. Alcohol that we discuss on this blog is derived from the alcohol fermentation. Precisely the fermentation of sugar and carbohydrates. Fermentation of sugar into alcohol of using yeast and bacteria in the process. It is called a chemical reaction of carbohydrate alcohol. during the reaction, conditions that must be maintained is the condition without the air. This condition is also called anaerob. So, it is some functions of the alcohol that often we meet in our lives. Incredible isn't? all of this, only from the alcohol and their "family"
