  1. Certain race cars use methanol (CH3OH; also called wood alcohol) as a fuel. Methanol has a molecular mass of 32.0 g/mol and a density of 0.79 g/mL. The combustion of methanol occurs according to the following equation:

    2CH3OH + 3O2 → 2CO2 + 4H2O

    In a particular reaction 2.00 L of methanol are reacted with 80.0 kg of oxygen.
    1. What is the limiting reactant?
    2. What reactant and how many grams of it are left over?
    3. How many grams of carbon dioxide is produced?

How many grams of methanol (CH3OH) would need to be combusted to raise the temperature of 25.0 L of water by 2.25 °C, given the information below? The specific heat of water is 4.18 J/g⋅°C. Assume the density of water is 1.000 g/mL. 2CH3OH(l) + 3O2(g) = 2CO2(g) + 4H2O(l) ∆H° = –1452.8 kJ
