The alcohol manufactured from water gas is
(a) ethanol
(b) methanol
(c) isobutanol
(d) butanol
Answers
a. ethanol
Answer: Your answer will be Methanol.(Since both ethanol and Methanol can be prepared from watergas but most appropriate answer will be Methanol, because Methanol mostly prepared from watergas).
Explanation:Methanol and ethanol can both be derived from fossil fuels, biomass, or perhaps most simply, from carbon dioxide and water(that is watergas) . Ethanol has most commonly been produced through fermentation of sugars, and methanol has most commonly been produced from synthesis gas, but there are more modern ways to obtain these fuels. Enzymes can be used instead of fermentation. Methanol is the simpler molecule, and ethanol can be made from methanol. Methanol can be produced industrially from nearly any biomass, including animal waste, or from carbon dioxide and water or steam by first converting the biomass to synthesis gas in a gasifier. It can also be produced in a laboratory using electrolysis or enzymes.
