Question

Write equation to show combustion reaction of methane and ethanol

Answer 1

c2h6o(l)+3o2(g)=2co2(g)+3h2o(l)
it is with the balance please market as brilliant thank you

Answer 2

Answer: The chemical equations are written below.

Explanation:

Combustion reactions are defined as the reactions in which a hydrocarbon reacts with oxygen gas to produce carbon dioxide and water.

$\text{Hydrocarbon}+O_2\rightarrow CO_2+H_2O$

The chemical equation of combustion of methane follows:

$CH_4+2O_2\rightarrow CO_2+2H_2O$

By Stoichiometry of the reaction:

1 mole of methane reacts with 2 moles of oxygen gas to produce 1 mole of carbon dioxide and 2 moles of water.

The chemical equation of combustion of ethanol follows:

$C2H_5OH+3O_2\rightarrow 2CO_2+3H_2O$

By Stoichiometry of the reaction:

2 moles of ethanol reacts with 3 moles of oxygen gas to produce 2 moles of carbon dioxide and 3 moles of water.

Hence, the chemical equations are written above.
