React with what?
I think he meant how many CO2 molecules are formed from a combustion reaction using methanol (CH3OH) as the hydrocarbon.
CH3OH + O2 ----> CO2 + H2O
Balance the reaction:
2 CH3OH + 3 O2 ----> 2 CO2 + 4 H2O
The reaction shows that 1 mole of CH3OH produces 1 mole of CO2. So, 10 molecules of methanol (CH3OH) consumed should produce 10 molecules of CO2.
If this isn't what is meant by the question then feel free to ignore this post.
