Methanol (CH3OH) is produced commercially by the catalyzed reaction of carbon monoxide and hydrogen: CO + 2 H₂ <--> CH3OH (g). An equilibrium mixture in a 5.00-L vessel is found to contain 0.537 mol CH3OH, 0.032 mol CO, and 0.217 mol H₂ at 500 K. Calculate Ke at this temperature. Type your answer in scientific notation such as 3.5x10^9. Round your answers to three significant figures.
