    0.1 mol of CO along with a catalyst is present in a 2dm32{dm}^{3} flask maintained at 500 K . Hydrogen is introduced into the flask until the pressure is 5 bar and 0.04 mol of CH3OH{CH}_{3}OH is formed. The Kp∘K_{p}^{\circ} is ____\_\_\_\_ ×10−3\times 10^{- 3} (nearest integer). Given : R=0.08dm3R = 0.08{dm}^{3} bar K−1 mol−1K^{- 1}{\text{ }mol}^{- 1} Assume only methanol is formed as the product and the system follows ideal gas behaviour.
