Methanol is produced by the reversible, gas-phase hydrogenation of carbon monoxide as CO+2H2↔CH3OH.
CO and H2 are charged to a reactor and the reaction proceeds to equilibrium at 453 K and 2 atm. The reaction equilibrium constant, which depends only on the temperature, is 1.68 at the reaction conditions. The mole fraction of H2 in the product is 0.4. Assuming ideal gas behaviour, the mole fraction of methanol in the product is ______ (rounded off to 2 decimal places).
