Diethyl ether [tex]\((\text{CH}_3\text{CH}_2)_2\text{O}\)[/tex] is an imperfect anesthetic in part because it readily combusts in air to form CO[tex]\(_2\)[/tex] and H[tex]\(_2\)[/tex]O.

Write a balanced equation for the complete combustion of diethyl ether.



Answer :

GinnyAnswer

Final answer:

The balanced equation for the combustion of diethyl ether is 2C4H10O + 13O2 → 8CO2 + 10H2O.


Explanation:

The balanced equation for the complete combustion of diethyl ether is:

2C4H10O + 13O2 → 8CO2 + 10H2O

It shows that when diethyl ether (C4H10O) combusts in the presence of oxygen (O2), it forms carbon dioxide (CO2) and water (H2O).
