Answer from: briannawoods13

a0=2

a1=3

a2=2

a3=4

Explanation:

The balanced equation for the complete combustion of methane is:

2CH₃OH₍l₎ + 3O₂₍g₎ → 2CO₂ + 4H₂O₍l₎

This way, there is an equal number of atoms of each kind on both reactants side and the products side.

Therefore the coefficients represented by the unknowns are:

a0=2

a1=3

a2=2

a3=4

The above is the equation for the complete combustion of methanol.

To find the number of atoms of each element we multiply coefficient × subscript

For example 5 Ca_1 Cl_2 contains

5 × 1 = 5 ,Ca atoms and

5 × 2 = 10, Cl atoms

If there is a bracket in the chemical formula

For example 3Ca_3 (P_1 O_4 )_2 we multiply coefficient × subscript × number outside the bracket.......... to find the number of atoms (Please note: 3 is the coefficient, and if there is no number given then 1 will be the coefficient )

So 3 × 3 = 9, Ca atoms

3 × 1 × 2 = 6, P atoms

3 × 4 × 2 = 24, O atoms are present.

Let us balance the equation

CH_3OH + O_2 CO_2 + H_2O (Unbalanced)

Reactant Side # of atoms of each element Product Side

1 C 1

4 H 2

3 O 3

Multiplying CH3OH by 2 we will have 2 - C, 8 - H and 6 - O on the reactant side so the equation changes to

2CH_3OH + O_2 CO_2 + H_2O (Unbalanced)

Reactant Side # of atoms of each element Product Side

2 C 1

8 H 2

4 O 3

By multiplying CO_2 by 2 and H_2 O by 4 we will have

2CH_3OH + O_2 2 CO_2 +4 H_2O (Unbalanced)

Reactant Side # of atoms of each element Product Side

2 C 2

8 H 8

4 O 8

To balance O atoms on the left we multiply O_2 by 3

2CH_3OH + 3O_2 2 CO_2 +4 H_2O (balanced)(Answer)

Reactant Side # of atoms of each element Product Side

2 C 2

8 H 8

8 O 8

Balanced!!!

What is the relationship between wind and ocean waves? question 17 options: wind moving at higher speeds will transfer more energy to the water, resulting in stronger waves. wind moving at higher speeds will transfer energy over a larger part of the ocean water, resulting in waves with a shorter wavelength. winds moving at higher speeds with cause water to move forward at faster rates, causing larger ocean waves. winds moving at higher speeds will affect deeper water, resulting in waves that move at a faster rate. how do temperature and salinity affect deepwater currents? question 15 options: as temperatures and salinity levels of water increase, the water rises to the surface where it creates currents as it moves to colder regions. they create changes in wind direction, moving denser water in the same direction as the wind and causing the deepwater circulation patterns found in the ocean. they equalize the forces on undersea currents caused by the coriolis effect as they replace more dense water with less dense water. they create density differences that cause dense deepwater currents to flow toward the equator where they displace less dense, warmer water above them.
