New industrial plants for acetic acid react liquid methanol with carbon monoxide in the presence of a catalyst.
`CH_3OH + CO to CH_3COOH`
In the experiment, 15 g of methanol and 10 g of carbon monoxide were placed in a reaction vessel. What is the theoretical yield of acetic acid? If the actual yield is 19.1 g, what is the percentage yield?

Explanation

To solve the problem, we need to find the theoretical yield of acetic acid from the given amounts of methanol and carbon monoxide, and then calculate the percentage yield based on the actual yield provided.

### Step 1: Calculate the moles of methanol (CH₃OH) and carbon monoxide (CO)

1. **Molar mass of methanol (CH₃OH)**:
- Carbon (C): 12 g/mol
- Hydrogen (H): 1 g/mol × 4 = 4 g/mol
- Oxygen (O): 16 g/mol
