Answer

$\text{CO(g)}\ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ +\ \ \ \ \ \ \ 2\text{H}_2(\text{g})\xrightarrow[\text{ZnO}\ +\ \text{CrO}_3]{\ \ \ \ \ \ \ {300\text{atm, 300}^\circ\text{C}} \ \ \ \ }\text{CH}_3\text{OH}(\text{l})\\ ^\text{Carbon monoxide}\ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ ^\text{Hydrogen}\ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ ^\text{Methanol}\\\ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ ^{(\text{Methyl alcohol})}$
The conditions for this reaction to take place are: A pressure of 300 atmospheres (written as 300atm), a temperature of $300^{\circ} C$, and a catalyst which is a mixture of zinc oxide and chromium oxide $\left( ZnO + CrO _3\right)$.
