The balanced reaction equation for the reaction between CH₃OH and O₂ is
2CH₃OH(l) + 3O₂(g) → 2CO₂(g) + 4H₂O(l)
Initial moles 12 24
Reacted moles 12 18
Final moles - 6 12 24
The stoichiometric ratio between CH₃OH and O₂ is 2 : 3
Hence,
reacted moles of O₂ = reacted moles of CH₃OH x (3/2)
= 12 mol x 3 / 2
= 18 mol
All of CH₃OH moles react with O₂.
Hence, the limiting agent is CH₃OH.
Excess reagent is O₂.
Amount of moles of excess reagent left = 24 - 18 mol = 6 mol
The correct answer is "B. Make a Hypothesis".
<span>The metal that would more easily lose an electron would be potassium. It is more reactive than sodium. Also, looking on the periodic table, </span><span>from top to bottom for groups 1 and 2, reactivity increases. So, it should be potassium. Hope this answers the question. Have a nice day.</span>
The standard International System of Units (SI) unit of mass is the kilogram(kg). The kilogram is 1000 grams (g), first defined in 1795 as one cubic decimeter of water at the melting point of ice.
