Respuesta :
The balanced equation for the complete oxidation reaction that occurs when methanol CH₃OH burns in air is 2CH₃OH + 3O₂ → 2H₂O + 4CO₂.
When Methane CH₃OH reacts with O₂, it get oxidized and CO₂ and H₂O are formed.
The chemical equation of the oxidation of methane when it burns in the air is,
CH₃OH + O₂ → H₂O + O₂
In order to balance the reaction, we should start first with carbon, then Hydrogen and at the end, we will balance oxygen atoms on both the sides of the reaction,
So, the balanced chemical equation becomes,
2CH₃OH + 3O₂ → 2H₂O + 4CO₂
So, in this reaction, Carbon is getting oxides as it is becoming carbon dioxide by the addition of oxygen into it and Oxygen itself is getting reduced.
