Methanol, a potential replacement for gasoline as an automotive fuel, can be made from H2 and CO by the reaction: CO(g) + 2H2(g) ⇌ CH3OH(g) At 500 K, this reaction has Kp = 6.25 × 10^-3. Calculate ΔG°(500) for this reaction in units of kilojoules.

Step 1
We know that the relationship between Kp and delta G0 is given by the equation: delta G0 = -RT ln(Kp) where R is the gas constant (8.314 J/mol K), T is the temperature in Kelvin, and Kp is the equilibrium constant. Show more…

8. Liquid methanol (CH3OH) is used as an alternative fuel in truck engines. An industrial method for preparing it is the catalytic hydrogenation of carbon monoxide: CO (g) + 2 H2(g) = CH3OH(l) I. Determine the enthalpy of the reaction if ?Hf = -110 kJ/mol, 0 kJ/mol, and -238.6 kJ/mol for CO (g), H2(g), and CH3OH(l), respectively. -128.6 kJ II. How much heat (in kJ) is released when 15.0 L of CO at 85 °C and 1.11 atm reacts with 18.5 L of H2 at 75 °C and 0.979 atm in the reaction above?

Methanol is an organic solvent that can be used as a fuel in some automobiles. 2 CH3OH(l) + 3 O2(g) → 2 CO2(g) + 4 H2O(l) ΔH = -1452.8 kJ/mol Calculate the amount of heat (in kJ) evolved when 15 mL of methanol (CH3OH) with a density of 0.792 g/mL is heated in the presence of excess oxygen gas?
