New industrial plants for acetic acid react liquid methanol with carbon monoxide in the presence of a catalyst.
CH₃OH(I) + CO(g) → HC₂H₃)2(I)
In an experiment, 15.0 g of methanol and 10.0 g of carbon monoxide were placed in a reaction vessel. What is the theoretical yield of acetic acid? If the actual yield is 19.1 g, what is the percentage yield?
