Certain race cars use menthanol (CH3OH , also called wood alcohol) as a fuel.
The combustion of of methanol occurs according to the following equation:
2CH3OH (l) + 3O2 (g) 2CO2(g) + 4H2O(l)
In a particular reaction, 9.8 moles of CH3OH are reacted with an excess of O2. Calculate the
number of moles of H2O formed.

3.70

When baking soda (sodium bicarbonate or sodium hydrogen carbonate, NaHCO 3) is heated, it
releases carbon dioxide gas, which is responsible for the rising of cookies, donuts and bread.
