Chapter 11, Problem 90E

Carbon monoxide gas reacts with hydrogen gas to form methanol:

$\text{CO}\left(\text{g}\right){\text{+2H}}_{\text{2}}\left(\text{g}\right)\to {\text{CH}}_{\text{3}}\text{OH}\left(\text{g}\right)$

A 1.50 L reaction vessel, initially at 305 K, contains carbon monoxide gas at a partial pressure of 232 mmHg and hydrogen gas at partial pressure of 397 mmHg. Identify the limiting reactant and determine the theoretical yield of methanol in grams.
