Question
Syngas can be burned directly or converted to methanol. Calculate $\Delta H^{\circ}$ for the reaction$$\mathrm{CO}(g)+2 \mathrm{H}_{2}(g) \longrightarrow \mathrm{CH}_{3} \mathrm{OH}(l)$$
Step 1
We can find these values in a standard thermodynamic table or a chemistry textbook. The values are: $\Delta H_f^{\circ}(\mathrm{CO}(g)) = -110.5 \,\text{kJ/mol}$ $\Delta H_f^{\circ}(\mathrm{H}_{2}(g)) = 0 \,\text{kJ/mol}$ $\Delta Show more…
