Question

What is the correct balance of the equation for the combustion of ethanol (CH3CH2OH - drinking alcohol)?- CH3CH2OH + 3O2 → 2CO2 + 3H2O- 3CH3CH2OH + 9O2 → 6CO2 + 12H2O- CH3CH2OH + O2 → CO2 + H2O- 2CH3CH2OH + 13O2 → 4CO2 + 6H2O

Answer 1

`A`

Step-by-step explanation:

Here, we want to write the correct equation for the combustion of ethanol

When organic compound burns in an unlimited supply of oxygen, what is produced is carbon (iv) oxide and water

We have the balaced chemical reaction as shown below:

`CH_3CH_2OH\text{ + 3O}_2\text{ }\rightarrow\text{ 2CO}_2\text{ + 3H}_2O`
