MCQ
Methyl alcohol is industrially prepared by the action of?
- A$\ce{CH_3COCH_3}$
- B$\ce{CO + H_2}$
- C$\ce{CH_3COOH}$
- D$\ce{C_2H_{5}OH}$
✓
Answer
The industrial method of preparation of methanol or methyl alcohol is by the action of $CO+H_2$ as:$\ce{CO + H_2 \rightarrow CH_3OH (230−400^\circ C)}$
Carbon monoxide reacts with hydrogen to produce methanol/methyl alcohol.
This reaction takes place at a temperature of $230−400^\circ C$ and at $50-100$ atm. In this reaction, the catalyst is can be copper oxide on oxide chromium$(III).$
