10. Certain race cars use methanol (CH
3
OH; 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:
2CH
3
OH + 3O
2
→ 2CO
2
+ 4H
In a particular reaction 2.00 L of methanol are reacted with 80.0 kg of oxygen.
