Gasoline is produced from crude oil,a nonrenewable resource. Ethanol is mixed with gasoline to produced a fuel called gasohol. Calculate the mass (in grams) of water produced when 66.89 g of ethanol is burned in 56.51 g of oxygen.
C2H5OH + O2 → CO2 + H2O
Ethanol is currently produced by fermentation of corn. There are other ways such as the fermentation of whole plants, like "switchgrass", a native North American grass. How ecology friendly is ethanol — its use, it production by various methods?

I keep watching the price of oil and it’s going up, even though the demand for gas is going down. People are not driving as much and they added ethanol to cut down our dependence on foreign oil. What is going on?
