1.54 atm
methanol
CH3OH
gas,
8.69 atm
oxygen
O2
gas,
6.05 atm
carbon dioxide
CO2
gas, and
3.41 atm

Answer:

ΔG = -1366KJ/mol

Step-by-step explanation:

The detailed step by step calculation is as shown in the attachment.

The relationship between ΔG, Temperature, gas constant and the reaction quotient was applied.
