Janet Pena · Answer 1

a) 1

Explanation:

In the combustion reaction there will be always as products the carbon dioxide and water, so in this way the balance equation will it be:

CH3OH (l) + O2 → CO2 + 2 H2O

If you calculate the number of atom, in the case of carbon is 1

in the case of hydrogen is 4

in the case of oxygen is 3

so is the balance equation
