Methanol can be synthesized by means of the equilibrium reaction CO(g) + 2 H2(g) 2 CH;OH(g) for which the equilibrium constant at 225°C is 6.08 × 10-3. Assume that the ratio of the pressures of CO(g) and H2(g) is 1:2. What values should they have if the partial pressure of methanol is to be 0.500 atm?
