Chemwhat mass of h2 would be needed to produce 208 kg of methanol?

So if we use the equation:

→

We can then determine the amount of needed to produce 208 kg of methanol.

So let's find out how many moles of methanol 208 kg is:

Methanol molar weight = 32.041g/mol

So then we can solve for moles of methanol:

So now that we have the amount of moles produced, we can use the molar ratio (from the balanced equation) of hydrogen and methanol. This ratio is 2:1 hydrogen:methanol.

Therefore, we can set up a proportion to solve for the moles of hydrogen needed:

So now that we have the number of moles of that are produced, we can then use the molar weight of hydrogen to solve for the mass that is needed:

Therefore, the amount of diatomic hydrogen () that is needed to produce 208kg of methanol is g.
