ethanol + oxygen ----> Carbon Dioxide + water (assume complete combustion) CH3CH2OH + 3O2 ---> 2CO2 + 3H2O *also, when a compound is burning,we chemists use the term Combustion, which refers to the exothermic reactions which occur between some fuel source and an oxidant. Thus, "Ethanol burning in air" is rather redundant :]

What is the balanced chemical equation for the burning of ethanol?
C2H5OH +3O2 gives 2CO2 +3H2O ...it burns with ablue flame in air
What is the word equation for the burning of calcium in the air?

What is the balanced equation for the complete combustion of ethanol in a stream of air?
This equation is C2H5OH + 3 O2 -> 2 CO2 + 3 H2O.
Is ethanol a reactant or a product?
Your question is not right.ethanol is also know as ethyl alcohol. When you take the preparations of ethanol,here it acts as product example ethane reacts with water to give ethanol C2H4+H2O gives C2H5OH in this example ethanol is a product. When we take chemical or physical properties of ethanol it act as reactent in the chemical equation. Example-combustion or burning of ethanol in air gives carbon dioxide and water. C2H5OH+3O2 gives 2CO2+3H20 in the above example ethanol is a reactent.
