A carless chemistry student pours 200 grams of methanol, a flammable substance into the sink. Another careless chemistry student causes the bad situation to get even worse by dropping a lit match into the sink. The metanol burns completely with 300 grams of oxygen from the air.
A.) approximately what mass, in grams, is converted into energy? (I'm confused on how to justify this because the mass could be anything)
b.) What is the mass of the products in this chemical reaction?
c.) Approximtely what mass, in grams, is converted into different forms of matter?
