2. A 2.0 L reaction flask initially contains 0.01 mol CO, 0.80 mol H2, and 0.50 mol CH3OH (methanol). If this mixture is brought in contact with zinc oxide-chromium (III) oxide catalyst, the equilibrium
CO (9) + 2H2(9) = CH3OH(9)
is obtained. The equilibrium constant, K., for this reaction at 300°C is 1.1 x 10-2. What is the direction of reaction
(forward or reverse) as the mixture attains equilibrium?
