Sterno, or "Canned Heat," Contains Methanol, CH₃OH, and Is Used

Multiple Choice

Sterno, or "canned heat," contains methanol, CH₃OH, and is used for heating containers of food. Which of the following is a balanced equation that represents the combustion reaction that occurs when methanol burns in air?

A) CH₃OH(l) + O₂(g) → CO₂(g) + H₂O(g)
B) 2CH₃OH(l) + 6O₂(g) → 2CO₂(g) + 4H₂O(g)
C) 2CH₃OH(l) + 3O₂(g) → 2CO₂(g) + 4H₂O(g)
D) 2CH₃OH(l) + O₂(g) → C₂O₂(g) + H₂(g)
E) CH₃OH(l) + O₂(g) → CH₄O₃(g)
