The synthesis of methanol from carbon monoxide and hydrogen gas is described by the following chemical equation:
CO(g)+2H2(g)⇌CH3OH(g)
The equilibrium constant for this reaction at 25 ∘Cis Kc=2.3×104. In this trial, you will use the equilibrium-constant expression to find the concentration of methanol at equilibrium, given the concentration of the reactants.
Suppose that the molar concentrations for CO and H2 at equilibrium are [CO] = 0.04 M and [H2] = 0.04 M.
Use the formula you found in Part B to calculate the concentration of CH3OH.
