Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

When alcohols undergo combustion, they react with oxygen in the air to produce water, carbon dioxide, and energy in the form of heat and light. This is a well-known combustion reaction and is used as a source of heat in many applications, such as in the combustion engine of a car. The other options, aldehydes, alkenes, ethers, and ketones, are all different types of compounds that may be formed from alcohols, but not during combustion.
