Methanol is formed by the following gas phase homogeneous reaction: CO(g)+2H2(g)CH3OH(g)CO (g) + 2H_2 (g) \rightleftharpoons CH_3OH (g) The standard Gibbs free energies of formation at 298 K298\text{ K} for COCO and CH3OHCH_3OH are 137 kJ mol1-137\text{ kJ mol}^{-1} and 162 kJ mol1-162\text{ kJ mol}^{-1}, respectively. The value of universal gas constant is 8.314 J mol1 K18.314\text{ J mol}^{-1}\text{ K}^{-1}. The equilibrium constant for the given reaction at 298 K298\text{ K} is _____ ×104\times 10^4 (rounded off to one decimal place).
