Chapter 16, Problem 46E

Consider the reaction.

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

A reaction mixture in a 5.19 L flask at a certain temperature contains 26.9 g CO and 2.34 g H₂. At equilibrium, the flask contains 8.65 g CH₃OH. Calculate the equilibrium constant (K_c) for the reaction at this temperature.
