Problem 4. When methanol is used to generate hydrogen, it reacts with the following reaction: \mathrm{CH3OH} \Rightarrow \mathrm{CO}+2 \mathrm{H} 2 The reaction is second order with regards to methanol (CH3OH)

and it is observed that 100 g/L of carbon monoxide (CO) can be produced in one day in a batch reactor, if you start with 200 g/L of methanol.What is the rate constant of this reaction (don't forget to include units)? Remember, that stoichiometry is a MOLAR balance, not a mass balance, so you will need to do some mol to g conversions.
