Express your answer as a chemical equation. Identify all of thephases in your answer.This problem is really confusing me. Please, can someone showme how to set this up? Methanol ( CH3OH ) is used as a fuel inrace cars. Write a balanced equation for the combustion ofliquid methanol in air. Express your answer as a chemical equation. Identify all of thephases in your answer. Calculate the standard enthalpy change for the reaction,assuming H2O(g) as aproduct. Calculate the heat produced by combustion per liter of methanol.Methanol has a density of 0.791 g/mL . Calculate the mass of CO2 producedper kJ of heat emitted. This problem is really confusing me. Please, can someone showme how to set this up?
Explanation / Answer
Methanol is in the liquid phase CH3OH (l) + 3/2O2 (g) -----> CO2 (g) + 2 H2O(g)
