Question 4
F

Ethanol, C2H5OH\mathrm{C_{2}H_{5}OH}C2​H5​OH, burns completely in oxygen to form carbon dioxide and water.

What is the balanced symbol equation for this reaction?

[1]
A

C2H5OH+3O2→2CO2+3H2O\mathrm{C_{2}H_{5}OH + 3O_{2} \rightarrow 2CO_{2} + 3H_{2}O}C2​H5​OH+3O2​→2CO2​+3H2​O

B

C2H5OH+2O2→2CO2+3H2O\mathrm{C_{2}H_{5}OH + 2O_{2} \rightarrow 2CO_{2} + 3H_{2}O}C2​H5​OH+2O2​→2CO2​+3H2​O

C

C2H5OH+3O2→2CO2+2H2O\mathrm{C_{2}H_{5}OH + 3O_{2} \rightarrow 2CO_{2} + 2H_{2}O}C2​H5​OH+3O2​→2CO2​+2H2​O

D

2C2H5OH+7O2→4CO2+6H2O\mathrm{2C_{2}H_{5}OH + 7O_{2} \rightarrow 4CO_{2} + 6H_{2}O}2C2​H5​OH+7O2​→4CO2​+6H2​O
