Question

Carbon monoxide gas reacts with hydrogen gas to form methanol via the following reaction: CO(g) + 2H2(g) → CH3OH(g). A 1.55 L reaction vessel, initially at 305 K, contains carbon monoxide gas at a partial pressure of 232 mmHg and hydrogen gas at a partial pressure of 376 mmHg. Identify the limiting reactant and determine the theoretical yield of methanol in grams.

Step 1

We can use the ideal gas law to find the moles of each reactant: PV = nRT where P is the pressure, V is the volume, n is the number of moles, R is the ideal gas constant, and T is the temperature. First, we need to convert the pressures from mmHg to atm: 1 Show more…
