How many moles of oxygen are required to react with methanol in order to produce 13 moles of formaldehyde?

6.5 moles of Oxygen are required

Explanation:

Based on the reaction:

CH3OH + 1/2 O2 → CH2O + H2O

1 mole of methanol reacts with 1/2 moles O2 to produce 1 mole of formaldehyde and 1 mole of water.

Thus, to produe 13 moles of formaldehyde, CH2O, are needed:

13 moles CH2O * (1/2mol O2 / 1mol CH2O) =

conduction is the transfer of thermal energy (heat in transfer) due to collisions between the molecules in the object. collisions between adjacent atoms and molecules transfer kinetic energy from the warmer to the cooler object. the objects must be in physical contact.
