Ethanol Dilution Calculator (Mix & Prepare Solutions)

Quickly dilute any ethanol concentration to target % using water. Perfect for 70 ethanol preparation calculator or adjusting lab reagents.

👉 Enter values to see water needed for your target ethanol percentage.

Blood Ethanol / BAC Calculator (Widmark Formula 2026)

Estimate blood ethanol level to BAC based on drinks, body weight, and time. Includes serum ethanol to BAC conversion (serum ≈ 1.2x whole blood).

📊 BAC results will appear here. Legal limit in US: 0.08% for driving.

*Standard drink = 14g pure ethanol (~0.6 fl oz). Serum ethanol mg/dL conversion: whole blood BAC = serum value ÷ 1.2. Use for clinical reference.

Ethanol Blend Calculator (E10 / E85 / Fuel Mix)

Calculate final ethanol percentage when mixing E85 (85% ethanol) with regular gasoline (E10). Ideal for flex-fuel vehicles.

⚡ Final ethanol percentage will be shown here.

Chemistry deep dive: Ethanol (C₂H₅OH) essentials

📐 Calculate the formula mass of ethanol (C₂H₅OH)

Step-by-step: Atomic masses: C = 12.01, H = 1.008, O = 16.00.
Formula mass = (2×12.01) + (6×1.008) + 16.00 = 46.068 g/mol. Use this for molarity, mole fraction and yield calculations.

Molar mass of ethanol = 46.07 g/mol
Enthalpy of combustion ΔH° = -1366.8 kJ/mol (2026 IUPAC data)
Freezing point (pure) = -114.1°C / -173.4°F

⚡ Exclusive 2026 insight: US ethanol blending & E15 year-round

Since 2026, the EPA has approved year-round E15 sales across all states. Our ethanol blend calculator helps you determine if your fuel mixture stays within OEM recommendations. For E85 flex-fuel, blend ratios directly affect octane (100+ RON) and fuel economy — calculate precisely.

Ethanol calculation checklist (US professionals)

  • For dilution: Always add alcohol to water (safety). Use C1V1 = C2V2 formula.
  • BAC estimation: Widmark formula with metabolism rate ~0.015%/hour. Our calculator applies elimination automatically.
  • Serum ethanol to BAC: Divide serum ethanol (mg/dL) by 1.2 → whole blood g/dL.
  • Ethanol yield fermentation: Theoretical yield = (sugar mass × 0.511) g ethanol.
  • OSRS & brewing: Use our ethanol mix calculator litres for homebrew adjustments.

Frequently asked questions – Ethanol Calculator

❓ How accurate is the blood ethanol calculator for legal purposes?
Our BAC estimator uses the Widmark formula, but individual metabolism varies. Always use certified breathalyzers for legal evidence. For clinical use, serum ethanol to bac calculator provides a reference.
❓ Can I use the ethanol dilution calculator to make 70% ethanol from 95%?
Yes, simply enter starting conc 95%, target 70%, volume desired. The result shows exactly how much distilled water to add — perfect for lab disinfectant prep.
❓ What is the formula mass of ethanol C2H5OH and why does it matter?
46.07 g/mol. It’s critical for converting grams to moles in molarity, combustion enthalpy, and stoichiometric reactions.
❓ Does the ethanol blend calculator support E85 flex-fuel tuning?
Absolutely. Enter your E85 volume and regular gas (E10/E0) to compute final ethanol %. Tune Plus and Brew City Boost users often rely on this for custom maps.
❓ How to calculate ethanol percentage in a water-ethanol mixture by volume?
Use our dilution calculator in reverse: known volumes and densities. Or measure using alcoholmeter corrected for temperature (our future tool).
❓ What’s the freezing point of 0.30 m glucose in ethanol?
Using ΔTf = Kf × m (ethanol Kf = 1.99 °C·kg/mol), freezing point depression ≈ -0.6°C from pure ethanol (-114.1°C). For precise results, use our dedicated formula.
