CUET Preparation Today
Which of the following is an industrial method of preparation of methanol? |
catalytic reduction of carbon monoxide in presence of ZnO-Cr2O3 by reducing formaldehyde with lithium aluminium hydride by reacting formaldehyde with aqueous sodium hydroxide solution by reacting methane with steam at 9000C with a nickel catalyst |
catalytic reduction of carbon monoxide in presence of ZnO-Cr2O3 |
The industrial method of preparation of methanol includes catalytic reduction of carbon monoxide. For this reaction, water gas is used. Water gas is an equimolar mixture of carbon monoxide and hydrogen (CO +H2). A mixture of zinc oxide and chromium oxide (ZnO-Cr2O3) converts water gas in methanol (CH3OH). |
