Combustion of liquid methanol


Assignment:

Consider the combustion of liquid methanol,
CH3OH(l): CH3OH(l) + 3/2O2(g)>> CO2(g)+2H2O(l)ΔH = -726.5kJ

Q1)What is the enthalpy change for the reverse reaction?
Express your answer using four significant figures.

Q2)Balance the forward reaction with whole-number coefficients: αCH3OH(l)+βO2(g)>>γCO2(g)+δH2O(l)
Give your answer as an ordered set of numbers α,β , γ, ... Use the least possible integers for the coefficients.

Q3)What is ΔH for the reaction represented by this equation?
Express your answer using four significant figures.

Q4)Which is more likely to be thermodynamically favored, the forward reaction or the reverse reaction?

Q5)If the reaction were written to produce H2O(g) instead of H2O(l), would you expect the magnitude of ΔH to increase, decrease, or stay the same?

Provide complete and step by step solution for the question and show calculations and use formulas.
