Chemistry and Chemical Reactivity
Acetic acid, $\mathrm{CH}_{3} \mathrm{CO}_{2} \mathrm{H}$, is made industrially by the reaction of methanol and carbon monoxide.
$$\begin{aligned}
\mathrm{CH}_{3} \mathrm{OH}(\ell)+\mathrm{CO}(\mathrm{g}) \rightarrow \mathrm{CH}_{3} \mathrm{CO}_{2} \mathrm{H}(\ell) & \\
\Delta_{r} H^{\circ}=-134.6 \mathrm{kJ} / \mathrm{mol}-\mathrm{rxn}
\end{aligned}$$
What is the enthalpy change for producing $1.00 \mathrm{L}$ of acetic acid $(d=1.044 \mathrm{g} / \mathrm{mL})$ by this reaction?
