How do you balaCne this equation ch4 plus h2o equals ch3oh plus ch3och3?
Adamgrinat
CH4 + H2O -> CH3OH + CH3OCH3
Does not balance;
Each compound on the product side has one Carbon and Hydrogen atom, so there must be one methane and water molecule per each DME and methanol molecule
So the hydrogens are then impossible to balance as one methane molecule has four hydrogens add that to the two hydrogens from each water molecule thats 6.
Methanol has four hydrogens - bearing in mind that 6 would be produced per molecule
The reaction hence cannot be balanced
2 CH3OH -> H2O + CH3OCH3
is the sythesis of DME from its consituents, maybe there was a transcription error somewhere.

Does the number of oxygen in a compound predict how water soluble it is if not then what does predict water solubility from highest to lowest CH3OCH3 and CH4 and CH3OH?
3rd (methanol is polar, asym.O), then 1st (DMK is apolar, asym. O), then 2nd (gas)

How do you balance CH3OH -- CO2 plus H₂O?
As with any combustion reaction you need to include oxygen. The full equation for methanol combustion is: CH3OH + 2 O2 --> CO2 + 2 H2O

What is the mass in grams of 9.32x1024 molecules of methanol CH3OH?
9.32*1024 (molec's CH3OH) / 6.022*1023 (molec's.mol−1 CH3OH) * 32.04 (g mol−1 CH3OH) = 495.8 g = 496 g CH3OH
Is CH3OH ionic or molecular?
CH3OH is molecular.
What is the mass in grams of 9.03 X 1024 molecules of methanol CH3OH?
9.32*1024 (molec's CH3OH) / 6.022*1023 (molec's.mol−1 CH3OH) * 32.04 (g mol−1 CH3OH) = 495.8 g = 496 g CH3OH
Balanced equation CH3COOH?
What is the balanced equation for Ch3COOH alone
What is the reaction of KmNO4 with formaldehyde?
The formula of formaldehyde is CH2O. The products formed are sodium formate (HCOONa) and methanol (CH3OH). The stoichiometric equation is then X CH2O + Y NaOH --> A HCOONa + B CH3OH. Balancing the equation makes the coefficients 2 CH2O + NaOH --> HCOONa + CH3OH.
