(a) Since, ethanol burns with a clear flame giving a lot of heat, therefore, it is used as a fuel.
(b) Uses of ethanol:
(i) It is used in the manufacture of paints, varnishes, lacquers, medicines, perfumes, dyes, soaps and synthetic rubber.
(ii) It is used as a solvent. Many organic compounds which are insoluble in water are soluble in ethyl alcohol.
