Today I have once again been reminded of a fact which I have always found hard to accept:

look mrs. phua, i do take notes!

1 mole of CH4 has not 1/5, but ONE mole of carbon atoms,

while 1 mole of C2H4 has not 1/6, but TWO moles of carbon atoms.

I found it really difficult to accept because in math,

we have been taught that when you divide 1 by 5,

you get 1/5 and not 1!

OKAY I HAVE TO STOP FLIPPING THAT IDEA IN MY HEAD AS IF I WERE FLIPPING A COIN OR I'LD GET ALL CONFUSED AGAIN :S

In the next hour Imma memorise the following formula because my sixth sense has detected its importance:

CxHy + (x + y/4) O2 ----> x CO2 + (Y/2) H20

Yes I know it can be worked out but I am a memory person thank you very much.
