Combustion of Phenol

2C₆H₅OH + 14O₂ → 12CO₂ + 6H₂O

Genel Bakış

Phenol burns in air with a very sooty flame due to its aromatic ring structure and high carbon content. Complete combustion requires excess oxygen. Phenol is corrosive to skin and tissues, and its combustion products in fires can include toxic phenolic compounds.
