Question
What mass of methanol can be produced from 9.80 g of carbon monoxide and 1.30 g of hydrogen in the reaction CO(g) + 2H₂(g) → CH₃OH(l)?
Correct Answer
Option B is the correct answer.
Detailed Explanation
After determining H₂ as limiting reagent, nCH₃OH = 0.64356 mol H₂ × (1 mol CH₃OH/2 mol H₂) = 0.32178 mol. Mass = 0.32178 mol × 32.02 g/mol = 10.3 g.
Hint
The notes provide this exact calculation with answer 10.3 g.
