How is the equilibrium constant for methanol synthesis calculated?
Product of effective gas partial pressures. . . . .
Taking the formation of methanol from carbon monoxide and hydrogen as an example: if the equilibrium constant for methanol is K, the equilibrium constant for carbon monoxide is K1, and the equilibrium constant for hydrogen is K2, then the equilibrium constant for methanol synthesis, K’, is equal to K divided by (K1 times K2)
