The complete combustion of one mole of an alkanol is shown below:

\(C_nH_{2n+1}CHO + xO_2 \rightarrow yCO_2 + 2H_2O\)

What is the value of \(x\) in terms of \(n\)?

  • A)
    \(\cfrac{3n + 1}{2}\)
  • B)
    \(\cfrac{3n - 1}{2}\)
  • C)
    \(\cfrac{3n}{2}\)
  • D)
    \(\cfrac{3n + 3}{2}\)

Correct Answer: A)
\(\cfrac{3n + 1}{2}\)
