Question

Isopropyl alcohol Burns well when evaporated and is used in alcohol burners. Write the chemical equation that describes the complete combustion of isopropyl alcohol (C3H7OH) To carbon dioxide and water

Answer 1

2C₃H₇OH + 9O₂ → 6CO₂ + 8H₂O

Step-by-step explanation:

When isopropyl alcohol burns in the presence of oxygen it gives carbondioxide and water. The chemical equation is given below:

Word equation:

Propanol + oxygen → carbondioxide + water

Chemical equation:

C₃H₇OH + O₂ → CO₂ + H₂O

Balanced chemical equation:

2C₃H₇OH + 9O₂ → 6CO₂ + 8H₂O

There are six carbon atoms sixteen hydrogen atoms, twenty oxygen atoms are present on both side of equation. That's why equation is correctly balanced.
