At 298 K298\,\text{K}, the standard molar free-energy change for the synthesis of methanol from carbon monoxide and hydrogen is ΔG∘=−11.5 kJ mol−1\Delta G^{\circ}=-11.5\,\text{kJ\,mol}^{-1}. CO(g)+2 H2(g)→CH3OH(g)\text{CO}(g)+2\,\text{H}_2(g) \rightarrow \text{CH}_3\text{OH}(g) a. Calculate the numerical value of the equilibrium constant KK for this reaction at 298 K298\,\text{K}. Report your answer with two significant figures.
