A mixture of hydrogen and oxygen would not need to have a certain ratio of hydrogen atoms to oxygen atoms to differ from the compound known as water.
<h3>Why is water a compound not a mixture?</h3>
A water molecule has 2 hydrogen atoms bonded chemically to oxygen atoms and has the formula H₂O.
In a chemical reaction, two atoms react together chemically to form a new product which means the reactants lose their individual properties and obtain new properties of the product formed.
Hence, water is a compound as hydrogen and oxygen atoms are bonded chemically to each other.
On the other hand, if oxygen and hydrogen form a mixture which is a physical change then they retain their individual properties in the mixture. They do not need to be in a specific ratio and there are no chemical changes taking place.
Chemical change determines if a substance is a mixture or a compound.
Thus, a mixture of hydrogen and oxygen is different from water if it doesn't have a certain ratio of hydrogen atoms to oxygen atoms.

Answer:
<h3>CH3OH (Methanol)</h3>
MM = 12 + 8 + 16 = 36u
Answer:
202 g/mol
Explanation:
Let's consider the neutralization between a generic monoprotic acid and KOH.
HA + KOH → KA + H₂O
The moles of KOH that reacted are:
0.0164 L × 0.08133 mol/L = 1.33 × 10⁻³ mol
The molar ratio of HA to KOH is 1:1. Then, the moles of HA that reacted are 1.33 × 10⁻³ moles.
1.33 × 10⁻³ moles of HA have a mass of 0.2688 g. The molar mass of the acid is:
0.2688 g/1.33 × 10⁻³ mol = 202 g/mol
