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.  

assuming that your periodic table has eighteen columns, you should highlight   the four elements in the third column from the left of the table.

neutral atoms of elements after calcium contain d electrons. the energy of d orbitals of a particular main shell lies between the energy of the s and p orbitals of the next main shell. for example, electrons in the have energy higher than those in the orbital while lower than those of the orbital.

by the aufbau principle, electrons fill orbitals one at a time, starting from those of the lowest energy. the orbital is therefore filled right after orbitals and before orbitals.  

potassium has electron configuration and calcium . the s orbital of a main shell holds a maximum of two electrons. the next element would thus have the electron configuration and satisfy the requirements.

a neutral atom of the element contains three electrons on top of the most recent noble gas element. it should thus be placed in the third column of the periodic table. both scandium and yttrium would satisfy the conditions. an aufbau diagram indicates that the 4f orbital is filled before the 5d. however, it appears that exceptions exists for both lanthanum and actinium. neutral atoms of the two d-block elements also demonstrate the and should be highlighted as well.
