Reagents used for industrial preparation of methanol are:
Reagents used for industrial preparation of methanol are:
- A. \( C O+H_{2} \)
- B. \( H C H O+H_{2} \)
- C. \( C O_{2}+H_{2} \)
- D. \( H C O O H+H_{2} \)
Step-by-step solution
The industrial preparation of methanol involves the catalytic hydrogenation of carbon monoxide (syngas) at high pressure and temperature: CO + 2H2 → CH3OH. This is the primary commercial route.
