Accepted Answer
| Question: | 1 Carbon (C) + 3 Hydrogen (H) + 1 Oxygen (O) |
| Solution: | Methanol (CH₃OH) |
| Chemical Equation: | C + 3H₂ + ½O₂ → CH₃OH |
| Explanation: | This synthesis reaction involves combining carbon, hydrogen, and oxygen to form methanol. It's not a simple direct combination, as you'd need specific reaction conditions (catalyst, temperature, pressure) 🌡️🔥. The balanced equation shows the stoichiometry — the ratio of reactants to product. Note that we use ½O₂ for balancing purposes; you wouldn't typically use half a molecule of oxygen in practice, but you would adjust the other reactants/products accordingly ⚖️. |
