Explanation:Balanced chemical reaction:  CO (g) + 2 H2 (g) →  CH3OH (l)

First use stoichiometry to convert grams of CO and H2 to moles of CH3OH to determine which reactant is the limiting reagent.

2.8 g CO x (1 mol CO / 28 g CO) x (1 mol CH3OH / 1 mol CO) = 0.10 mol CH3OH

0.50 g H2 x (1 mol H2 / 2 g H2) x (1 mol CH3OH / 2 mol H2) = 0.13 mol CH3OH

As you can see, CO produces less CH3OH, therefore, it is the limiting reagent.  Now convert 0.10 mol CH3OH to grams CH3OH.

0.10 mol CH3OH x (32 g CH3OH / 1 mol CH3OH) = 3.2 g CH3OH

the answer would be c
