===About Alcohol===
====Health Effects====
: '''Alcohol''' has [[Intoxicate|intoxicating]] effects on [[human]]s, causing them to behave in ways they wouldn't normally when [[sober]].
: '''Alcohol''' is [[toxic]] in large quantities and over long periods of time.
: '''Alcohol''' poisoning can cause a person to die if too much '''alcohol''' is consumed in a short period of time. However, usually people do not die directly from the '''alcohol''' but because they drown in their own [[vomit]] or become involved in an accident.
: Prolonged '''alcohol''' abuse can lead to [[liver]] and [[kidney]] damage and even failure. This may require a [[liver]] [[transplant]] or a [[kidney]] [[transplant]].
====Properties====
: [[Ethanol]] is a [[transparent]] [[liquid]] (at [[Room Temperature|room temperature]]).
: [[Ethanol]] can be [[oxidise]]d to [[product|produce]] [[Carbon Dioxide]] and [[Water]].
: [[Ethanol]] + [[Oxygen]] → [[Carbon Dioxide]] + [[Water]]
==Key Stage 4==
===Meaning===
'''Ethanol''' is a type of [[alcohol]] [[molecule]] with [[Chemical Formula|chemical formula]] C<sub>2</sub>H<sub>5</sub>OH.
'''Ethanol''' is also referred to commonly as '''alcohol''', though it is only one type of [[alcohol]].
===Alcohol/Ethanol and Disease===
: '''Alcohol''' is a [[Risk Factor|risk factor]] in [[liver]] [[disease]], [[pancreas]] [[disease]], [[diabetes]] and [[cancer]].
===About Ethanol===
: [[Ethanol]] is a [[transparent]] [[liquid]] ([[STP]]).

: The [[combustion]] of [[ethanol]] [[product|produces]] [[Carbon Dioxide]] and [[Water]].
: [[Ethanol]] + [[Oxygen]] → [[Carbon Dioxide]] + [[Water]]
<math>C_2H_5OH + 3O_2 → 2CO_2 + 3H_2O</math>
: [[Ethanol]] can also be [[oxidise]]d at low [[temperature]]s to [[product|produce]] [[Water]] and the [[Carboxylic Acid]]; [[Ethanoic Acid]].
<math>C_2H_5OH + O_2 → CHCOOH + H_2O</math>
