Concept explainers
Interpretation: The mass of carbon monoxide and hydrogen gas required to form
Concept introduction: The ratio of mass of substance to its molar mass is said to be number of moles of that substance.
Answer to Problem 6RQ
Explanation of Solution
The balanced complete chemical equation for the formation of methanol from carbon monoxide and hydrogen gas is:
The number of moles of methanol is calculated as:
The molar mass of methanol is 32.04 g/mol. So, the number of moles of methanol is:
From the balanced
Now, the mass of carbon monoxide and hydrogen required for the production of
The molar mass of carbon monoxide and hydrogen is 28.01 g/mol and 2.016 g/mol respectively. So,
Hence, the
