Determine what mass of carbon monoxide and what mass of hydrogen are required to form 6.0 kg of methanol by the reaction CO(g) + 2H2(g) -> C H3OH(l)

5250 grams or 5.25 kg of carbon monoxide and 375 grams of hydrogen are required to form 6 kg of methanol.

Explanation:

The balanced reaction:

CO (g) + 2 H₂ (g) -> CH₃OH (l)

By stoichiometry of the reaction, the following amounts of moles of each compound participate in the reaction:

Being the molar mass of each compound:

By reaction stoichiometry, the following mass quantities of each compound participate in the reaction:

Being 6 kg equivalent to 6000 grams (1 kg= 1000 grams), you can apply the following rules of three:

mass of carbon monoxide= 5250 grams= 5.25 kg

If by stoichiometry 32 grams of methanol are formed from 2 grams of hydrogen, 6000 grams of methanol are formed from how much mass of hydrogen?

mass of hydrogen= 375 grams

5250 grams or 5.25 kg of carbon monoxide and 375 grams of hydrogen are required to form 6 kg of methanol.
