<u>Answer:</u> The balanced equation for the complete oxidation reaction of ethanol is C_2H_5OH+3O_2\rightarrow 2CO_2+3H_2O

<u>Explanation:</u>

Combustion is the chemical process where an organic molecule reacts with oxygen gas present in the air to produce carbon dioxide and water molecules.

It is also known as an oxidation reaction because oxygen is getting added.

The chemical equation for the oxidation of ethanol follows:

C_2H_5OH+3O_2\rightarrow 2CO_2+3H_2O

By stoichiometry of the reaction:

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

If the volume occupied by the gas molecules shown below were doubled, what would happen to the pressure they exert? (Assume cons
AnnZ [28]

there's no picture here but I guess the answer would be:

considering the constant temperature, if you double the volume, the pressure would be halved.

like: volume is 2, pressure is 4

if 2×2, then:4÷2
