Part (i): Write an equation for the combustion of methanol.

  1. Write the unbalanced equation for the complete combustion of methanol (CH3OH\text{CH}_3\text{OH}).

    CH3OH(l)+O2(g)→CO2(g)+H2O(l)\text{CH}_3\text{OH}(l) + \text{O}_2(g) \rightarrow \text{CO}_2(g) + \text{H}_2\text{O}(l)

  2. Balance the equation by ensuring the same number of atoms of each element on both sides.

    First, balance carbon (1 C on each side).
    Next, balance hydrogen (4 H on the left, so $2
