The chemical reaction system that can be used to produce the biofuel methanol, CH3OH (g),is represented by the following equation: 2 H2(g) + CO (g) = CH3OH (g) K = 10.5 at 500 K Question #1) When the concentrations of hydrogen, H2 (g); carbon monoxide, CO (g); and methanol are 0.25 mol/L, 0.25 mol/L, and 0.040 mol/L, respectively, is the system at equilibrium? Place your answer in blank #1. Question #2) If not, predict the direction in which the equilibrium will shift and explain why. Place your answer in blank #2.
