Chemistry: How do you write a balanced equation for the combustion of ethanol?
Actually, yes. Can you tell me more about what combustion reactions are and why they occur?
Combustion reactions are a type of chemical reaction in which a substance reacts with oxygen gas, producing heat and light. They occur because oxygen gas is a very reactive substance, meaning that it is very likely to react with other substances, particularly those that are flammable or combustible. Does that answer your question?
