Ctain race cars use methanol ch3oh also called wood


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.
