Certain race cars use methanol (CH 3 OH) as fuel. The combustion of 9.8 moles of methanol produces what mass of water?

The combustion of 9.8 moles of methanol will produce 352.8 grams of water.

Stoichiometric calculation

First, let us look at the balanced equation of combustion of methanol:

[tex]2CH_3OH(l)+3O_2(g)-- > 2CO_2(g)+4H_2O(l)[/tex]

The ratio of number of moles of methanol burned and that of water produced is 1:2.

Thus, 9.8 moles of methanol will produce 19.6 moles of water.

Mass of 19.6 moles water = 19.6 x 18 = 352.8 grams
