A chemical equation should be balanced, so that when you make calculations based on the equation you must be able to relate the products to the reactants or vice versa. An example of using equations for calculations in chemistry is with the subject stoichiometry.

Consider the combustion of methanol at some high temperature in a constant-pressure reaction chamber: 2ch3oh (g) + 3o2 (g) \long
Monica [59]

The balanced reaction is

2CH3OH (g) + 3O2 (g) ⟶ 2CO2 (g) + 4H2O (g)

as per equation two moles of methanol gas will react with 3 moles of oxygen

one mole of gas occupies 22.4 L of volume

so the moles and volume goes in same ratio

it means two unit volume of methanol will react with three unit volume of oxygen

therefore 1L of methanol gas will react with 3 /2 L of oxygen

Or 18 L of methanol gas will react with 3 x 18 /2 = 27  L of oxygen

So here oxygen is limiting reagent

As per balanced equation

10L of oxygen will react with = 2 X 10 /3 L of methanol = 6.67 L of methanol gas to give 6.67 L of CO2 gas and 13.33 L of water gas

So overall there will be = 18 - 6.67 L of left out methanol = 11.33 L

And 6.67 L of CO2 + 13.33 L of water = 20 L

Total volume of gas = 11.33+ 20 = 31.33 L

select all that apply... Which of the following have energy stored as chemical energy? nuclear...petroleum...biomass...geotherma
d1i1m1o1n [39]
<span>Petroleum and biomass are burned in combustion reactions, which liberate energy stored in chemical bonds. This is chemical energy. In contrast, nuclear energy comes from the conversion of mass into energy when an nuclear reaction occurs. Geothermal energy comes directly from heat sources underground, with no chemical or nuclear reactions.</span>
