Chapter 4, Problem 39Q
Ethanol, C2H5OH, can be produced from sugars and starches in crops such as corn or sugarcane. The ethanol is used as a gasoline additive, and when burned it combines with O2 to form H2O and CO2.
- a. Write a balanced equation for the complete combustion of C2H5OH.
- b. How many moles of CO2 are produced from each mole of C2H5OH completely burned?
- c. How many moles of O2 are required to burn 10 mol of C2H5OH?
