Methanol, CH3OH, Is Produced by the Reaction of Methane with Oxygen

Question 69

Essay

Methanol, CH3OH, is produced by the reaction of methane with oxygen under carefully controlled conditions:
2 CH4 (g) + O2 (g) \rightarrow 2 CH3OH (g)
A 200 L reactor is filled with a mixture of methane to a pressure of 10.5 atm and 3.50 atm oxygen at 298 K. The reactor is then heated to 350°C.(a) What is the mass of methanol formed if the reaction proceeds to 100% yield?(b) What are the partial pressures of each of the substances and the total pressure in the reactor at the end of the reaction if the temperature is 350°C?
