Answer:
Ethanol is burnt in air to form carbon dioxide, water and releases heat. It is a redox reaction as there is a change in the oxidation number of carbon and oxygen. Carbon is oxidized as it gains oxygen and C2H5OH is the reducing agent while oxygen is reduced, as it loses oxygen and the oxidizing agent is O2.
