Question

When the alcohol burns carbon dioxide and water form. What does this tell you about the elements in alcohol? ​

Answer 1

Alcohols completely combust in the presence of oxygen to form carbon dioxide and water.

Step-by-step explanation:

They combust incompletely when oxygen is scarce, producing water and either carbon monoxide or carbon (soot). Methanol, ethanol and propan-1-ol can be oxidised to produce carboxylic acids.

Answer 2

CO2 and water are produced.

Step-by-step explanation:

Alcohol is ethanol, a molecule made up of two carbon atoms, six hydrogen and one oxygen. Like any organic molecule, when it burns or burns, CO2 and water are produced.
