Question 8

In an industrial synthesis of methanol, a mixture of 1.50 mol of carbon monoxide and 3.00 mol of hydrogen is allowed to reach equilibrium in a sealed vessel at a constant temperature:

CO(g)+2H2(g)⇌CH3OH(g) \text{CO}(\text{g}) + 2\text{H}_2(\text{g}) \rightleftharpoons \text{CH}_3\text{OH}(\text{g}) CO(g)+2H2​(g)⇌CH3​OH(g)

At equilibrium, the total amount of the three gases present in the mixture is 3.30 mol.

What is the mole fraction of methanol (CH3OH\text{CH}_3\text{OH}CH3​OH) in the equilibrium mixture?
