2. Answer the following questions about the reaction shown below. 3 H2O2(aq) + CH3OH(aq) -> 5H20(1) + CO2(g)

a. Is this reaction classified as combustion, acid-base or redox? Justify your answer.

b. What observation would you expect to see in the lab when this chemical reaction takes place?

c. If 100 mL of 0.50 M H2O, and 100 mL of 0.50 M CH3OH are combined... What is the limiting reactant? and How many grams of CO, will be produced?

- aluminum and copper chloride.

- the chloride ion to separate the aluminum from the oxygen so that the aluminum can react with the copper ions (and the water molecules).

the answer is b because, investigating whether another species of moth also drinks tears might be interesting, but it would not directly explain why this species of moth does.

to explain why this species of moth drinks tears, the scientist could ask: "what nutrients that moths need are in elephant tears? "

the scientist could experiment with moth repellent or oter ways to keep the moths away, but that would not answer his original question.
