Write the balanced equation for the reaction that occurs when methanol, CH3OH (I) is burned in air. What is the coefficient of m
IRISSAK [1]

Answer:

(C) 2

Explanation:

Methanol is an organic compound which burns with oxygen to produce carbon dioxide and water.

2CH_3OH_{(l)}+3O_2_{(g)}\rightarrow 2CO_2_{(g)}+4H_2O_{(g)}

Multiply coefficients times subscripts for each element in the formula, We get that there are 2 number of atoms of the carbon, 8 number of atoms of the hydrogen, and 8 number of atoms of the oxygen on both sides of equation. Hence, it is balanced.

<u>The coefficient of methanol from the balanced reaction is 2.</u>

What is the average atomic mass of the element?
morpeh [17]

The average atomic mass of element X is 14.007 u.

The average atomic mass of X is the <em>weighted average</em> of the atomic masses of its isotopes.

We multiply the atomic mass of each isotope by a number representing its <em>relative importance</em> (i.e., its % abundance).

Thus,  

0.996 36 × 14.003 u =13.952 03 u

0.003 64 × 15.000 u = <u>0.054 60 u</u>

__________TOTAL = 14.007     u

What happens when current flows through a wire?
Serhud [2]

Answer: Two effects may occur during high current flow: 1) the wire may become overheated to the point that surface oxidation or even evaporation may take place, 2) at the connection points at each end of the wire, especially if the terminations are of a different type of metal than the wire, some atoms may migrate into or out of the wire.
