Chapter 6, Problem 87P(choose chapter or problem)
Methanol \(\left(\mathrm{CH}_{3} \mathrm{OH}\right)\) is an organic solvent and is also used as a fuel in some automobile engines. From the following data, calculate the standard enthalpy of formation of methanol:
\(2 \mathrm{CH}_{3} \mathrm{OH}(l)+3 \mathrm{O}_{2}(\mathrm{g}) \rightarrow 2 \mathrm{CO}_{2}(g)+4 \mathrm{H}_{2} \mathrm{O}(l)\)
\(\Delta H_{r x n}^{\circ}=-1452.8\ \mathrm{kJ} / \mathrm{mol}\)
