A Level Chemistry Revision “Balancing Equations for the Complete Combustion of Alcohols”

You can find all my A Level Chemistry videos fully indexed at https://www.freesciencelessons.co.uk/a-level-revision-videos/a-level-chemistry/

In this video, we look at how to balance equations for the complete combustion of alcohols. First, I remind you of the rules for balancing chemical equations. I then show you how to balance a combustion equation using ethanol as an example. Finally, I give you two questions on the combustion of alcohols to try yourself.

This video is aimed at the UK A Level Chemistry specifications. Students studying International A Level Chemistry will need to check their specification.
