Key Stage 3
Meaning
Propanol is a compound with chemical formula C3H7OH.
About Propanol
- Propanol is a transparent liquid (at room temperature).
- Propanol can be oxidised to produce Carbon Dioxide and Water.
- Propanol + Oxygen → Carbon Dioxide + Water

- The combustion of Propanol produces Carbon Dioxide and Water.
- Propanol + Oxygen → Carbon Dioxide + Water
\(2C_3H_7OH + 9O_2 → 6CO_2 + 8H_2O\)
- Propanol can also be oxidised at low temperatures to produce Water and the Carboxylic Acid; Propanoic Acid.
\(C_3H_7OH + O_2 → C_2H_5COOH + H_2O\)
