Answer to Question #153376 in General Chemistry for Papia

Question

If 360 g CO reacts with X g H2 then,

(i) Determine the grams of methanol that can be produced from these amounts of reactants.

Answer 1

CO + 2H₂ --> CH₃OH

360g xg ??

Molar Mass of CH₃OH = 12+3+16+1 = 32gmol^-1

mole of CO = 360/28 = 12.86mol

mass of CH₃OH = M.M * Mole

= 32gmol^-1 * 12.86mol

= 411.52g
