Combustion of Methanol

2CH3OH + 3O2 → 2CO2 + 4H2O

概要

Methanol burns in air with a nearly invisible pale blue flame, making methanol fires extremely dangerous because they are hard to see. This was a particular hazard in early Indianapolis 500 racing, where methanol-fueled cars sometimes caught fire without visible flames.
