The combustion of liquid ethanol (C2H5OH) produces carbon dioxide and water. Write a balanced equation for this reaction.
b. After 4.2 mL of ethanol (density = 0.789 g/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?
