    368.92 g of HCOOH could be formed.

    Explanation:

    First we have to write the balanced equation as,

    CH₃OH + O₂ → HCOOH + H₂O

    Here the question said that 8.02 mol of CH₃OH and 15.49 mol of O₂.

    In the above reaction methanol and oxygen is used in 1:1 ratio, but the moles are lesser in case of methanol, so CH₃OH is the limiting reagent.

    Now by making use of 8.02 moles of methanol, we can produce 8.02 mol of HCOOH.

    Molar mass of HCOOH is 46 g/mol.

    So mass of HCOOH formed is moles * molar mass of HCOOH.

    8.02 moles * 46 g/mol = 368.92 g of HCOOH could be formed.
