Question

Methanol is synthesized by the reaction of CO2 and H2 as seen in the reaction 

CO + 2 H2 = CH3OH 

What volume of hydrogen gas, at 756 mm Hg and 22 degrees Celsius, is required to synthesize 6.92 grams of methanol? 

Expert Solution
Step 1

CO2 + 2H2 ---> CH3OH 

Temperature = 22°C = 22+273 = 295 K

Pressure = 756 mm Hg 

= 756 /760 = 0.995 atm 

Volume = ?
