Give the products and the balanced molecular equation for the reaction of liquid methanol with nitrogen dioxide gas. If there is no reaction, write "no reaction."
ANSWERS OPTIONS
A
products: CH3OH(l), NO2(g)
balanced equation: 4 CO2(g) + 8 H2O(g) + 3 N2(g) → 4 CH3OH(l) + 6 NO2(g)
balanced equation: 4 CO2(g) + 8 H2O(g) + 3 N2(g) → 4 CH3OH(l) + 6 NO2(g)
B
products: CO2(g), H2O(g), N2(g)
balanced equation: 4 CH3OH(l) + 6 NO2(g) → 4 CO2(g) + 8 H2O(g) + 3 N2(g)
balanced equation: 4 CH3OH(l) + 6 NO2(g) → 4 CO2(g) + 8 H2O(g) + 3 N2(g)
C
products: CO2(g), H2O(g), N2(g)
balanced equation: 2 CO2(g) + 4 H2O(g) + 2 N2(g) → 2 CH3OH(l) + 3 NO2(g)
balanced equation: 2 CO2(g) + 4 H2O(g) + 2 N2(g) → 2 CH3OH(l) + 3 NO2(g)
D
products: CH3OH(l), NO2(g)
balanced equation: 2 CH3OH(l) + 3 NO2(g) → 2 CO2(g) + 4 H2O(g) + 2 N2(g)
balanced equation: 2 CH3OH(l) + 3 NO2(g) → 2 CO2(g) + 4 H2O(g) + 2 N2(g)
E
No reaction
