Method

  1. Cut the rubber tube into 9 pieces each being 10 inches in length.
     
  2. Connect each of the eighteen beakers with one piece of tubing to form 9 sets.
     
    1. Rub some dishwashing soap on the spout of the beaker to make the tubing slide easily on the spout.
       
    2. Do not use oil or Vaseline as it may affect the purity of ethanol being produced.
       
  3. Draw a table with 3 columns and 4 rows to record Temperature and Specific Gravity. Label this as Table 1 - Ethanol from Fruit
  4. Draw a table with 3 columns and 4 rows to record Temperature and Specific Gravity. Label this as Table 2 - Ethanol from Corn
  5. Draw a table with 3 columns and 4 rows to record Temperature and Specific Gravity. Label this as Table 3 - Ethanol from Yard-waste/Biomass.
