Table 4: Density of Ethanol Produced
CALCULATIONS: Density of Ethanol Produced at Varying Temperatures |
Type of Liquid |
Mass of liquid Ethanol Produced |

Calculating Density of Ethanol = Mass of Ethanol Produced / Volume of Ethanol Produced
Where:
Mass of Ethanol Produced = wt. of liquid on 8 th week
Volume of Ethanol Produced = vol. of liquid on 8 th week
Cost of Producing Ethanol

|
Calculating Costs of producing 1 litre of Ethanol from corn/yard waste/fruit: |
Cost of Materials:
Cost of corn/fruits = $ 1.25
Cost of yeast = $ 2.00
Avg Ethanol produced = 25 mL
Estimated Cost of producing 1 mL of ethanol = 3.25/25 = .13 cents
Estimated Cost of producing 1 barrel or 159 liters of ethanol = CAD $20.67
Note: Cost of Apparatus/Equipment excluded as these costs will be shared across all ethanol produced over time.
