(D) The equilibrium constant expression for the reaction is $K_c = \frac{[CH_3OH]}{[CO][H_2]^2}$.
Given $K_c = 0.5$,$[CO] = 0.18 \ M$,and $[H_2] = 0.22 \ M$.
Substituting the values: $0.5 = \frac{[CH_3OH]}{(0.18)(0.22)^2}$.
$[CH_3OH] = 0.5 \times 0.18 \times 0.0484$.
$[CH_3OH] = 0.004356 \ M$ or $4.356 \times 10^{-3} \ M$.
