Science and technology and computer Chemistry

Consider the following balanced equation :

CO (g) + 2H₂(g) → CH₃OH (?l)

How many moles of CH₃OH (l) can be obtained by reacting 2.0 mole of CO (g) with 2.0 mole of H₂ (g) ?

EPFO AO EO 2021

- The balanced equation for the reaction is CO (g) + 2H₂ (g) ---> CH₃OH (l).

- According to the balanced equation, 1 mole of CO reacts with 2 moles of H₂ to produce 1 mole of CH₃OH.

- If we start with 2.0 moles of CO and 2.0 moles of H₂, the limiting reactant will restrict the reaction.

- Since the reaction requires 2 moles of H₂ for every mole of CO, and you have equal moles of both, H₂ runs out first.

- Therefore, only 1.0 mole of CH₃OH can be formed.

- Correct Answer: Option:1 i.e. 1
