Question

Mithene to methyl alcohol

Answer 1

Explanation:

The solution is to convert methane to the chemically very similar but liquid fuel methanol (CH4 and CH3OH, where one hydrogen is replaced by a hydroxyl group). Industrially, methane is converted to methanol by partial oxidation to hydrogen gas and carbon monoxide at high temperatures

Answer 2

The two-step process produces liquidmethanol by the steam reforming ofmethane to synthesis gas followed by the high pressure catalytic conversion of the synthesis gas to methanol. The methanol thus obtained from methane is in an energy form that is much easier to transport and is more efficient fuel.
