Can anyone solve these Stoichiometry questions with work?
Joesph P asked:
The carbon monoxide can be combined with hydrogen to produce methanol, CH3OH. Methanol is used as an industrial solvent, as reactive in some reactions synthesis and as clean-burning fuel for some cars racing. If you had 152.5kg of carbon monoxide and hydrogen 24.5kg, how many kilograms of methanol could be produced?

CO + 2H2 -> CH3OH
Moles of CO = 152.5/28 = 5.446 kilomol
Moles of H2 = 24.5/2 = 12.25 kilomol
Limiting reactant is CO
Thus mass of CH3OH produced = 32*5.446 = 174.27 kg
