Question

Methanol is industrially prepared by
(a) oxidation of CH₄ by steam at 900°C
(b) reduction of HCHO using LiAlH₄
(c) reaction HCHO with a solution of NaOH
(d) reduction of CO using H₂ and ZnO – Cr₂O₃.

Answer 1

Option(d)=reduction of co using H2 and ZnO-Cr2o3 ANS

Answer 2

Answer:

reduction of CO using H₂ and ZnO-Cr₂O₃

Explanation:

CO + 2H₂ → CH₃OH (in the presence of ZnO-Cr₂O₃ at high temperature)
