Methanol is industrially prepared by

Question

Methanol is industrially prepared by (A) oxidation of CH4 by steam at 900°C (B) reduction of HCHO using LiAIH4 (C) reaction of HCHO with a solution of NaOH (D) reduction of CO using H2 and ZnO-Cr2O3

Methanol is prepared commercially from water gas which is a mixture of carbon monoxide and hydrogen. In this method, water gas is mixed with its half volume of hydrogen and is passed over heated

C r_{2} O_{3} - Z n O

catalyst at

673 K

under high pressure.

CO + 2 H_{2} C r_{2} O_{3} - Z n O 673 K, high pressure C H_{3} O H

Q. Methanol is industrially prepared by

oxidation of $C H_{4}$ by steam at $90 0^{\circ} C$

reduction of $H C H O$ using $L i A I H_{4}$

reaction of $H C H O$ with a solution of $N a O H$

reduction of $CO$ using $H_{2}$ and $Z n O - C r_{2} O_{3}$
