The reaction, c2h6o (I) + 3o2 (g) 2co2 (g) + 3h2o (g), is the combustion of ethanol. What occurs as the reaction proceeds?
Solution:
1. it is a combustion reaction.
2. There is a stormy separation of CO2 and H2O(gas).
3. H2O condenses (turns into a liquid state) after a while.
4. During the reaction a large amount of heat is released.
5. Ethanol burns with a light blue flame.
