Based on the ideal gas law, there is a simple equivalency that exists between the amount of gas and the volume it occupies. At standard temperature and pressure (STP; 273.15 K and 1 atm, respectively), one mole of gas occupies 22.4 L of volume.

What mass of methanol (CH3OH) could you form if you reacted 7.02 L of a gas mixture (at STP) that contains an equal number of carbon monoxide (CO) and hydrogen gas (H2) molecules?

Express the mass in grams to three significant digits.
