Methanol, a major industrial feedstock, is made by several catalyzed reactions, such as CO(g) + 2H2(g) ----> CH3OH (l)
One concern about using CH3OH as an auto fuel is its oxidation in air to yield formaldehyde, CH2OH(g) which poses a health hazard.
Calculate ÄG o at 130 o C for this oxidation (answer must be in scientific notation)
Is it 5.696 KJ ?

I don't know what values you are using. Tables vary so I can't get the same answer unless you give me the numbers you used.
