Answer

$$[CH_3OH] = 0.24 \space M$$

Work Step by Step

1. Write the equilibrium constant expression: $$K_c = \frac{[Products]}{[Reactants]} = \frac{[ CH_3OH ]}{[ CO ][ H_2 ]^{ 2 }}$$ 2. Solve for the missing concentration: $$K_c \times [ CO ][ H_2 ]^{ 2 } = [CH_3OH]$$ 3. Evaluate the expression: $$ [CH_3OH] = { 15 \times ( 0.40 )( 0.20 )^{ 2 }}$$ $$[CH_3OH] = 0.24 \space M$$
