Methanol (CH3OH) is the simplest alcohol. It is used as a fuel in race cars and is a potential replacement for gasoline. Methanol can be manufactured by combining gaseous carbon monoxide and hydrogen. Suppose 68.5 kg of CO (g) is reacted with 8.60 kg of hydrogen gas. How much in grams is the theoretical yield of methanol. If 3. 57 x 104 g of methanol is actually produced, what is the percent yield?
The density of liquid ethanol C2H5OH is 0.789 g/mL. If 505 grams of glucose decomposes, how many liters of liquid ethanol will be produced.
