What is the difference between Ethanol and Propanone? Please give comparisons....?

Question

I need comparisions between the 2.

Eg: "Ethanol is ... and Propanone is not...

Answer 1

Ethanol - CH 3 CH 2 OH a liquid at room temperature - good for drinking in a martini or adding to your cars gasoline to stretch our fuel supply
can be produced from corn. etc.
Propanone - CH3COCH3 a liquid at room temperature - good for nail polish remover. A simple ketone good for use as a solvent and in making plastics. Commonly called acetone. Some people claim if you add a small amount to your gasoline you get better fuel mileage. This is unproven and may be dangerous to practice without proper knowledge and a few spare engines. It can be produced by the oxidization of isopropyl alcohol

Answer 2

ethanol is an alcohol with the functional group -OH. Propanone is a ketone with the functional group C=O. Ethanol contains 2 carbon atoms while propanone contains 3.

Answer 3

Ethanol is an alcohol, propanone is a ketone.

Ethanol contains an OH (hydroxide) functional group, propanone contains a C=O (carbonyl) functional group.

In propanone, the C=O appears on the centre carbon. Propanone is the simplest ketone.

Answer 4

propane is a gas used mainly for heating homes in rural areas where there is no city natural gas service. ethanol is a corn-based fuel for running your vehicle.

Answer 5

Ethanol (grain alcohol, found in "hard" beverages) has this formula: CH3CH2OH.
Its mol. wt is 46.07; density is 0.7893 g/ml; melts at -117.3 *C; boils at 78.5 *C
Propanone (acetone, found in nail polish remover) has this formula: CH3C=OCH3.
Its mol. wt. is 58.08; density is 0.792 g/ml; melts at -95 *C; boils at 56.5 *C
Both are colorless liquids at room temp. and are flammable.
