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

Vesna [10]

Answer:

A) They all have 12 protons.

Explanation:

Magnesium has an atomic number of 12 which means it has 12 protons. All Magnesium atoms have 12 protons, the neutrons however may differ which produces things called isotopes where the atoms have same protons but neutrons change.

Keep in mind the atomic number is unique to each element, so 12 atomic number will always be Magnesium, 1 will always be Hydrogen and so on.....

What is the difference between extensive and intensive physical properties?
cestrela7 [59]
Extensive properties, such as mass and volume, depend on the amount of matter being measured.Intensive properties, such as density and color, do not depend on the amount of the substance present.Physical properties<span> can be measured without changing a substance's chemical identity.</span>

In the context of small molecules with similar molar masses, arrange these intermolecular forces by strength (hydrogen bonding -
Katarina [22]
<h2>Answer:</h2>

Arrangement of inter molecular forces from strongest to weakest.

  • Hydrogen bonding
  • Dipole-dipole interactions
  • London dispersion forces.
<h3>Explanation:</h3>

Intermolecular forces are defined as the attractive forces between two molecules due to some polar sides of molecules. They can be between nonpolar molecules.

Hydrogen bonding is a type of dipole dipole interaction between the positive charge hydrogen ion and the slightly negative pole of a molecule. For example H---O bonding between water molecules.

Dipole dipole interactions are also attractive interactions between the slightly positive head of one molecule and the negative pole of other molecules.

But they are weaker than hydrogen bonding.

London dispersion forces are temporary interactions caused due to electronic dispersion in atoms of two molecules placed together. They are usually in nonpolar molecules like F2, I2. they are weakest interactions.
