Question

Enter a balanced equation for the complete combustion of liquid C3H7OH. Express your answer as a chemical equation. Identify all of the phases in your answer.

Answer 1

2 C₃H₇OH (l) +  9 O₂ (g) → 6 CO₂ (g) + 8 H₂O (g)

Explanation:

To balance the chemical equation the number of atoms of each element entering the reaction have to be equal to the number of atoms of each element leaving the reaction, in order to conserve the mass.

Bellow we have the balanced chemical equation of the complete combustion of C₃H₇OH:

C₃H₇OH (l) +  (9/2) O₂ (g) → 3 CO₂ (g) + 4 H₂O (g)

to have integer coefficients  we multiply the reaction with 2:

2 C₃H₇OH (l) +  9 O₂ (g) → 6 CO₂ (g) + 8 H₂O (g)

where:

(l) - liquid

(g) - gaseous
