Question

Certain race cars use methanol (CH3OH) as fuel. The combustion of methanol occurs according to the following equation: (Look at the equation below) In a particular reaction, 9.8 moles of CH3OH are reacted with an excess of O2. Calculate the number of moles of H2O formed.

Answer 1

2CH₃OH + 3O₂ → 2CO₂ + 4H₂O

$Moles = 9.8 × 4 = 39.2$
