Methanol can be formed by the following UNBALANCED equation
below. What is the mass in grams of methanol that can be formed
from 885 molecules of CO?
H2(g) + CO(g) → CH3OH(1)

Answer:

[tex]m_{CH_3OH}=4.70x10^{-20} gCH_3OH[/tex]

Explanation:

Hello.

In this case, since the balanced chemical reaction is:[tex]2H_2(g) + CO(g) \rightarrow CH_3OH(l)[/tex]

By starting with 885 molecules of carbon monoxide, we can compute the grams of methanol (molar mass: 32 g/mol) by using the Avogadro's number, the 1:1 mole ratio of CO to methanol and methanol's molar mass as shown below:

[tex]m_{CH_3OH}=885 molec\ CO*\frac{1molCO}{6.022x10^{23}molec\ CO} *\frac{1molCH_3OH}{1molCO} *\frac{32gCH_3OH}{1molCH_3OH} \\\\m_{CH_3OH}=4.70x10^{-20} gCH_3OH[/tex]

Best regards.
