1. 

Ethyl Alcohol is oxidised on burning to Carbon dioxide and Water.

 
Ethanol or ethyl alcohol is one of the hydrocarbon fuel used in laboratory and industries.
chemical formula:- CH3-CH2-OH or C2H5-OH. Like all hydro-carbon fuel, when ethanol is burnt in air,
it reacts with oxygen and the products of this reaction are CO2 and water. This reaction is an exothermic reaction and gives out a lot of heat energy.
 
C2H5-OH + 3O→ 2CO2 + 3H2O + energy
 
 
2. Calculate the no. of moles of oxygen required to produce 2.8 liters of Carbon dioxide at S.T.P.
