Liquid methanol (CH3OH) reacts with oxygen gas to form carbon dioxide gas and water vapor. Express your answer as a chemical equation. Identify all of the phases in your answer.

Explanation:

The reaction between methanol and oxygen can be expressed as an equation below:

However, the equation is not balanced as the number of the molecule of each atom on the right-hand side and the left-hand side is not the same. The balanced equation showing the phases of all the reactants and products is as below:

Two molecules of liquid methanol react with three molecules of oxygen gas to give 2 molecules of carbon dioxide gas and four molecules of water vapor.  

i think slash and

rosa was looking for patterns to predict the products of chemical reactions. she recorded three similar decomposition reactions in the table.she should record 2licl + 3o2.

in the last row of the table. it is the thermal decomposition of chlorate lithium, hence, she should record these products as: lithium chloride ( 2licl ) and oxygen ( 3o2 )   2 > 2 licl + 3o2.
