John D asked:


An industrial method for preparing it uses the catalytic hydrogenation of carbon monoxide. CO (g) + 2 H2 (g) CH3OH (l) The as heat (in kJ) is released when 18.5 L CO to 85C and 107 kPa react with 20.7 L H2 to 75C and 710. Torr?

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?
