Chemistry

When ethanol, C2H5OH (a component in some gasoline mixtures) isburned in air, one molecule of ethanol combines with three oxygenmolecules to form two CO2 molecules and three H2O molecules.

a)     Draw two molecular-sized models:one for the reactant mixture and one the product mixture! Usedifferent colors or different shading to indicate the identity ofthe atoms.

b)     Write the balanced chemicalequation for the reaction described.

c)     How many molecules ofCO2 and H2O would be produced when 2 molecules ethanolare consumed? Equation?

d)     How many H2O molecules areformed, then 9 O2 molecules are consumed? What conversion factordid you use? Explain!

e)     If 15 ethanol molecules react,how many molecules O2 must also react? What conversion factor didyou use? Explain!
