The combustion of methanol (CH₃OH) is a chemical reaction that occurs when methanol reacts with oxygen (O₂) to produce carbon dioxide (CO₂) and water (H₂O). The balanced chemical equation for the complete combustion of methanol is as follows:
\[ 2 , \text{CH}_3\text{OH}(l) + 3 , \text{O}_2(g) \rightarrow 2 , \text{CO}_2(g) + 4 , \text{H}_2\text{O}(g) \]
In summary, the products of the combustion of methanol are carbon dioxide (CO₂) and water (H₂O).
