- Applies2.3Models and Applications
Producing exactly 1000 kg of MTBE at 100% yield and working backward to the volume of methanol (density 0.7915 g/mL) needed chains a stoichiometric mass ratio through d = m/v solved for volume, landing on 4.593×10² L — the same multi-step model-and-solve-for-a-variable skeleton as any density or mixture word problem, and this is the section a teammate zeroed out for being ordinary stoichiometry, which is exactly why it repeats here.
