Detailed Solution
Download Solution PDFThe correct answer is CO2 + H2O + heat and light.Key Points
- When ethanol (CH3CH2OH) undergoes complete combustion with oxygen (O2), the products formed are carbon dioxide (CO2), water (H2O), heat and light.
- This reaction is an example of rapid oxidation, where a substance reacts with oxygen to release energy in the form of heat and light.
- The balanced chemical equation is:
- CH3CH2OH + 3O2 \(\rightarrow\) 2CO2 + 3H2O + heat and light
- Remember, sufficient oxygen should be present for complete combustion to occur.
- In a limited supply of oxygen, incomplete combustion will occur, leading to the formation of carbon monoxide (CO) and water.
