17There are several stages in the industrial production of methanol from methane. The first stage involves a gaseous equilibrium between the reactants (methane and steam), and some gaseous products. Figures 1 and 2 show the percentage conversion of methane into the gaseous products under different conditions at equilibrium. Figure 1 Figure 2 Deduce the optimum conditions for the industrial conversion of methane and steam into the gaseous products. Explain your deductions.

 19The equation shows the final stage in the production of methanol. CO(g) + 2H2(g)CH3OH(g) 0 9 . 2 20.1 mol of carbon monoxide and 24.2 mol of hydrogen were placed in a sealed container. An equilibrium was established at 600 K. The equilibrium mixture contained 2.16 mol of methanol. Calculate the amount, in moles, of carbon monoxide and of hydrogen in the equilibrium mixture.

 200 9 . 3 A different mixture of carbon monoxide and hydrogen was allowed to reach equilibrium at 600 K At equilibrium, the mixture contained 2.76 mol of carbon monoxide, 4.51 mol of hydrogen and 0.360 mol of methanol. The total pressure was 630 kPa Calculate a value for the equilibrium constant, Kp, for this reaction at 600 K and state its units. [6 marks] Value of Kp Units 14 *20* IB/M/Jun17/7405/1<br />
