New industrial plants for production of acetic acid, involve reaction of liquid methanol with CO in the presence of a catalyst. $CH_3OH(I)+CO(g) \to CH_3COOH(g)$ In an experiment 16 g of methanol and 16 of carbon monoxide were placed in reaction vessels. What is the theoretical yield of acetic acid ? If the actual is 22.0 g what is its percentage yield ?
