**Formation of Methanol from Carbon Monoxide**

Methanol can be formed by the following unbalanced chemical equation:

\[ \text{H}_2(g) + \text{CO}(g) \rightarrow \text{CH}_3\text{OH}(l) \]

**Problem Statement:**
What is the mass in grams of methanol that can be formed from 259 molecules of CO?

In this reaction, gaseous hydrogen (\( \text{H}_2 \)) reacts with gaseous carbon monoxide (\( \text{CO} \)) to produce liquid methanol (\( \text{CH}_3\text{OH} \)). To solve for the mass of methanol formed from 259 molecules of carbon monoxide, additional steps such as balancing the equation, using molar masses, and Avogadro's number will be necessary.
