Answer:

2CH₃OH + 3O₂ → 2CO₂ + 4H₂O

Explanation:

A complete reaction for when any organic compound burns in air, produces only water and carbon dioxide. It does so by reacting with the oxygen gas (Oâ‚‚) present in air.

In the case of methanol (CH₃OH) combustion, the balanced reaction is:

2CH₃OH + 3O₂ → 2CO₂ + 4H₂O
