Methanol is produced when carbon monoxide and hydrogen react in the presence of a catalyst, as shown in the equation below. CO(g) + 2H2(g) → CH, OH(g)

In an industrial reaction vessel, 1.20 x 10^4L CO is mixed with 2.52 x 10^4 L H, over several hours. What is the mass in kilograms (kg) of the methanol that is produced at STP?

answer : (a) volume of the gas = 8.67 ×   l

                (b) second virial coefficient b = -1.21226 l/mole

solution :   given,     t = 300k

                                p = 20atm

                                z = 0.86

                                n = 8.2 mmoles = 8.2 × moles

                                r =   0.082 l atm/k/mol

        find,     (a) volume of gas   and (b) second virial coefficient b at 300k.

formula used :            

                          and            

(a)            

                    = \times 0.082\times 300}{20}[/tex]

                    = 8.67 ×   l

(b)      

                    = (0.00867-1) × 8.659

                    = - 8.5839 l/mole
