Question

Consider the following reaction:
CO(g)+2H2(g)CH3OH(g)
An equilibrium mixture of this reaction at a certain temperature was found to have [CO]= 0.115 M , [H2]= 0.116 M , and [CH3OH]= 0.190 M .

Part A

What is the value of the equilibrium constant (Kc) at this temperature?

Consider the following reaction:

An equilibrium mixture of this reaction at a certain temperature was found to have [CO]= 0.115 M , [H2]= 0.116 M , and [CH3OH]= 0.190 M .

Part A

What is the value of the equilibrium constant (Kc) at this temperature?

Explanation / Answer

CO(g)   + 2H2(g) <--------------------> CH3OH(g)

Kc = [CH3OH] / [CO][H2]2

[CH3OH] = 0.19 M

[CO] = 0.115 M

[H2] = 0.116 M

Kc = [0.19] / [0.115][0.116]2

Kc = 0.19 / 0.001547

Kc = 122.82
