What is the product formed when CH3CH2OH reacts with O₂?
Show answer & explanation
Correct answer: B
Explanation
The correct answer is Option 2 i.e. + + heat and light.
The reaction involves the combustion of ethanol (CH₃CH₂OH) in the presence of oxygen (O₂) to produce carbon dioxide (CO₂) and water (H₂O) along with heat and light:
CH₃CH₂OH (ethanol) + 3O₂ → 2CO₂ + 3H₂O + heat + light
