More than 20 million tons of methanol, CH3OH, is produced annually, primarily via
the following equilibrium reaction:
CO(g) + 2 H2(g) – CH3OH(g)
A,H° = -95 kJ mol-1
100 bar of gaseous CO and 100 bar of gaseous H2 are added to a sealed reaction
apparatus at 250°C, and the system is allowed to reach dynamic equilibrium. Which
of the following changes to the system will increase the yield of methanol? Select all
that apply.
A piston inside the reaction apparatus is raised, increasing the volume of the
gaseous mixture.
UThe temperature is decreased to 200°C.
OMethanol is removed by passing the gaseous mixture through a condenser.
The total pressure inside of the reaction compartment is increased through the
addition of 100 bar of argon gas.
OThe temperature is increased to 300°C.
An additional 100 bar of CO is added to the reaction apparatus.
Some H2 gas is removed.
UA piston inside the reaction apparatus is compressed, reducing the volume of the
gaseous mixture.
