Question
If you were to analyze your distillate by GC, you might notice a trace amount (<0.05%) of methanol.
However, methanol can be oxidized into formaldehyde, which is quite toxic. This is why moonshine was
traditionally unsafe to drink during the unregulated prohibition period. How could you revise the
procedure of your distillation to try and limit the isolation of methanol-laced ethanol?

Ethylene oxide (C₂H4O) is a high-volume chemical intermediate that is used in the manufacture of textiles, detergents, polyurethane foam, antifreeze, solvents, medicinal, adhesives, and other products like glycol and polyethylene glycol. Ethylene oxide is produced by the partial oxidation of ethylene (C₂H4) using a solid catalyst in a fixed-bed reactor: C₂H4 + O2 →→ C₂H4O An undesired reaction occurs where a portion of the ethylene reacts completely to form CO2 and H₂O: C₂H4 + O2- → CO₂ + H₂O The product gas leaving a fixed-bed ethylene oxide reactor has the following water-free composition: 22.5% C₂H4O; 70.7% N₂; 2.5% O₂; and 4.3% CO₂.
