Question

Methanol (CH3OH) is produced commercially by the catalyzed reaction of carbon monoxide and hydrogen:
CO(g)+2H2(g)???CH3OH(g).
An equilibrium mixture in a 2.50?L  vessel is found to contain 2.43 Methanol (CH3OH) is produced commercially by the catalyzed reaction of carbon monoxide and hydrogen:

Explanation / Answer

Kc = [CH3OH]/[CO][H2]^2

[CH3OH] = (2.43 * 10^-2)/(2.5) = 0.00972 M

[H2] = 0.301/2.5 = 0.1204

[CO] = 0.16/2.5 = 0.064

Kc = 0.00972/(0.064 * (0.1204)^2) = 10.476 L^2 mol^-2
