The synthesis of methanol from carbon monoxide and hydrogen

Last updated: 8/5/2022

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 °C is Kc = 2.3 x 104. In this tutorial, you will use the equilibrium-constant expression to find the 1 concentration of methanol at equilibrium, given the concentration of the reactants. ▼ Correct The equilibrium constant is expressed as Kc = [CH3OH] [CO][Hz]? Part B Review | Constants | Periodic Table The equilibrium-constant expression is a mathematical equation that can be rearranged to solve for any of the variables in it. Rearrange the equilibrium-constant expression to solve for [CH3OH]. ► View Available Hint(s)
