Question

Can you help me on this question I found on my practice worksheet for thermochem?

The combustion of methanol is shown by the following
2 CH₂OH()+30₂(g) → 2 CO₂(g) + 4H₂O(g)
From the given data,
(a) find the enthalpy of reaction for the equation above.

Expert Solution
Step 1: Given

Given:

2 space CH subscript 3 OH left parenthesis straight l right parenthesis space plus space 3 space straight O subscript 2 left parenthesis straight g right parenthesis space rightwards arrow space 2 space CO subscript 2 left parenthesis straight g right parenthesis space plus space 4 space straight H subscript 2 straight O left parenthesis straight g right parenthesis

Here, we have to

  • determine the enthalpy of the reaction.
  • molar enthalpy of combustion of methanol.
  • predict whether the given reaction is exothermic or endothermic.

Note: Since you have posted a question with multiple sub-parts, we will provide the solution only to the first three sub-parts as per our Q&A guidelines. Please repost the remaining sub-parts separately.
