Answer:
(C) 2
Explanation:
Methanol is an organic compound which burns with oxygen to produce carbon dioxide and water.
[tex]2CH_3OH_{(l)}+3O_2_{(g)}\rightarrow 2CO_2_{(g)}+4H_2O_{(g)}[/tex]
Multiply coefficients times subscripts for each element in the formula, We get that there are 2 number of atoms of the carbon, 8 number of atoms of the hydrogen, and 8 number of atoms of the oxygen on both sides of equation. Hence, it is balanced.
The coefficient of methanol from the balanced reaction is 2.
