How many moles of methanol would be created if you started the reaction with 36.7 g of hydrogen gas?
(Round to 1 decimal place.)
Molar Masses:
H2= 202 g/mol
CO = 28.01 g/mol
CH3OH = 32.04 g.mol

Answer:

9.1 mol

Explanation:

The balanced chemical equation of the reaction is:

CO (g) + 2H2 (g) → CH3OH (l)

According to the above balanced equation, 2 moles of hydrogen gas (H2) are needed to produce 1 mole of methanol (CH3OH).

To convert 36.7 g of hydrogen gas to moles, we use the formula;

mole = mass/molar mass

Molar mass of H2 = 2.02g/mol

mole = 36.7/2.02

mole = 18.17mol

This means that if;

2 moles of H2 reacts to produce 1 mole of CH3OH

18.17mol of H2 will react to produce;

18.17 × 1 / 2

= 18.17/2

= 9.085

Approximately to 1 d.p = 9.1 mol of methanol (CH3OH).
