Asked by Gabby
                Methanol is an organic solvent and is also used as fuel in some automobile engines. From the following data, calculate the standard enthalpy of formation of methanol.
2CH3OH + 3O2 --> 2CO2 + 4H2O, (delta H = -1452.8 kJ/mol
            
        2CH3OH + 3O2 --> 2CO2 + 4H2O, (delta H = -1452.8 kJ/mol

    I don't agree with the answer provided by ash. 
dHxn = (n*dHf products) - 2x = -1452.
Solve for x for dHf CH3OH.
    
dHxn = (n*dHf products) - 2x = -1452.
Solve for x for dHf CH3OH.

    just had this question on my webassign-
products
h2o is liquid: dH= -286 kJ (x4)
CO2 (g): dH= -393.509 kJ (x2)
reactants:
CH3OH (l): dH= 2dH (unknown)
O2 (g): dH= 0 (x3) (0 bc its elemental)
dH(rxn) = dH(prod) - dH(react)
-1452.8= -1931.018 - 2dH(CH3OH)
-2dH(CH3OH) = 478.218
dH(CH3OH) = -239.109
