Ethanol Or put more simply, "Alcohol, Booze" One of my more favourite formulas -Wayne Alger
9 atoms; 2 carbon, 6 hydrogen, and 1 oxygen
H3C-CH2-OH
Ethanol
It contains 6 Carbon mollecules, 12 Hydrogen mollecules, and 6 Oxygen mollecules.
Butane is not a element. Butane has a molar mass.
Alcohol doesn't have a set chemical formula. Rather any organic compound with a functional hydroxyl (-OH) group attached to a saturated carbon atom is considered an alcohol. Drinking alcohol, or ethanol, has the chemical formula of C2H5OH.
C2H6O + 3 O2 = 2 CO2 + 3 H2O
do you have another chemical equation with this as the answer could be 2CH30 my advice is to count the number of atoms and make sure they match if they do it is a balenced equation. If you have to write one yourself then make sure the numbers match.

First figure the molar mass for each...C2H6O=46 & CH4O=32. Together C2H6O(46)+CH4O(32)= 78 Now you take molar mass / total molar mass So C2H6O(46)/total mass (C2H6O+CH4O)78= C2H60 or ethanol=0.410 and CH4O(32)/total mass 78=CH4O or methanol=0.589

Here is a short answer: an ethanol molecule is made of two carbon atoms, one oxygen atom, and six hydrogen atoms. The short chemical formula is then C2H60. The chemical formula CH3CH2OH is more descriptive, because it conveys the information that at one end of the molecule there is a carbon atom with bonds to three hydrogens, while at the other end there is an OH (hydronium) group. Between the ends is a single CH2 set. A fuller discussion of ethanol on Wikipedia is at http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ethanol
