Now on to something new: it's not just fossil fuel hydrocarbons, alcohols also burn completely away to make only CO2 and water, as shown below. Alcohols differ slightly from hydrocarbons: alcohols contain hydrogen and carbon, but they also contain 1 oxygen. "Methanol" is the simplest alcohol because it formula is CH3OH, each molecule contains 1 carbon. As you can see in the reaction below, 2 methanol molecules react with 3 oxygen.

Question
Now on to something new: it's not just fossil
fuel hydrocarbons, alcohols also burn completely away to make only CO2 and
water, as shown below. Alcohols differ slightly from hydrocarbons: alcohols
contain hydrogen and carbon, but they also contain 1 oxygen. "Methanol" is the
simplest alcohol because it formula is CH3OH, each molecule contains 1 carbon.
As you can see in the reaction below, 2 methanol molecules react with 3 oxygen.
How many water molecules are produced?
methanol + oxygen
→ carbon dioxide + water
2CH,OH)
2CO2(8)
