Textbook Question
Chapter 4.11, Problem 4.24YT
Have you ever been served cherries Jubilee or bananas flambé? A chef first douses the fruit in a liquor and then lights It with a match. The ethanol in the liquor burns with a dramatic blue-tinged flame.

- a. Write the chemical equation for the complete combustion of ethanol—that is, burning it with enough oxygen so that only carbon dioxide and water are produced.
- b. Although it wouldn’t be very tasty, you also could pour cooking oil or biodiesel on fruit and set it afire. Write the balanced chemical equation for the complete combustion of methyl stearate, C19H38O2, the biodiesel product in Equation 5.17.
