Formaldehyde (CH2O) is made by the catalytic oxidation of pure methanol vapor and air in a reactor. The moles from this reactor (after the reaction) in equilibrium are 63.1 nitrogen gas, 13.4 oxygen gas, 5.9 water, 5.1 formaldehyde, 12.3 methanol, and 1.2 formic acid.   The reaction is CH3OH + 0.5O2 -> CH2O + H2O   A side reaction occurring is CH2O + 0.5O2 -> HCOOH   Calculate the fractional conversion of methanol to formaldehyde.
