The combustion of liquid ethanol c2h5oh produces carbon


a. The combustion of liquid ethanol (C2H5OH) produces carbon dioxide and water. Write a balanced equation for this reaction.

b. After 4.2mL of ethanol (density = 0.789g/mL) was allowed to burn in the presence of excess oxygen gas. At the end of the process 3.72 g of water was collected (actual yield).

i. What is the theoretical yield of water in the reaction?

ii. What is the percent yield of water?
