Answer

$$K_p = 2.15 \times 10^4$$

Work Step by Step

$T_2/K = 0 + 273.15 = 273.15$ The reaction produces 1 mol of $CH_3OH$ $$\Delta H^o_{rxn} = -128 \space kJ/mol = -1280 \space J/mol$$ Van't Hoff's equation: $$ln \space \frac{K_2}{K_1} = -\frac{\Delta H^o_{rxn}}{R}\Bigg(\frac {1}{T_2} - \frac{1}{T_ 1} \Bigg)$$ $$ln \space \frac{K_2}{2.25 \times 10^4} = -\frac{-1280}{8.314}\Bigg(\frac {1}{273.15} - \frac{1}{298} \Bigg)$$ $$ln \space \frac{K_2}{2.25 \times 10^4} = -0.047$$ $$\frac{K_2}{2.25 \times 10^4} = e^{-0.047} = 0.954$$ $$K_2 = 2.25 \times 10^4 \times 0.954 = 2.15 \times 10^4$$
