About Butanol
Butan-1-ol
| Chemical Formula (CnH2n+2) | Structural Formula | Structural Diagram | Ball and Stick Model |
| C4H9OH | CH3CH2CH2CH2OH |  |
 |
- The combustion of Butanol produces Carbon Dioxide and Water.
- Butanol + Oxygen → Carbon Dioxide + Water
\(C_4H_9OH + 6O_2 → 4CO_2 + 5H_2O\)
- Butanol can also be oxidised at low temperatures to produce Water and the Carboxylic Acid; Butanoic Acid.
\(C_4H_9OH + O2 → C_3H_7COOH + H_2O\)
- Butanol can be oxidised to produce Carbon Dioxide and Water.
- Butanol + Oxygen → Carbon Dioxide + Water
Butan-1,2-diol
| Chemical Formula (CnH2n+2) | Structural Formula | Structural Diagram | Ball and Stick Model |
| C4H8(OH)2 | CH3CH2CHOHCH2OH |  |
 |
- The combustion of Butandiol produces Carbon Dioxide and Water.
- Butandiol + Oxygen → Carbon Dioxide + Water
\(2C_4H_8(OH)_2 + 11O_2 → 8CO_2 + 10H_2O\)
