Combustion of Ethanol

C₂H₅OH + 3O₂ → 2CO₂ + 3H₂O

Tổng quan

Ethanol burns in oxygen to produce carbon dioxide and water. Ethanol burns with a nearly invisible blue flame. As a biofuel, ethanol combustion is considered partially carbon-neutral because the CO2 released was originally captured by the plants used to produce it.
