Question

Write the balanced equation for the reaction that occurs when methanol, CH3OH (I) is burned in air. What is the coefficient of methanol in the balanced equation? A) 1 B) 3 C) 2 D) 4 E) 3/2

Answer 1

a) 1

Step-by-step explanation:

In the combustion reaction there will be always as products the carbon dioxide and water, so in this way the balance equation will it be:

CH3OH(l) + O2 → CO2 + 2 H2O

If you calculate the number of atom, in the case of carbon is 1

in the case of hydrogen is 4

in the case of oxygen is 3

so is the balance equation
