Answer: Gas pressure is employed in a variety of industrial operations, and it was the catalyst for the industrial revolution. Many industrial machines were powered by steam in the early twentieth century. To heat the water molecules inside massive boilers, wood was burned.
<em>M CH₂O₂:</em>
mC + mH×2 + mO₂×2 = 12g + 1g×2 + 16g<span>×2 = <u>46g/mol</u>
