Methanol is prepared from carbon monoxide and hydrogen. The catalyst used for this reaction is:
- A
ZnO + CoO2
- B
ZnO + CuO
- C
ZnO + Ag2O
- D
Cr2O3 + ZnO
A is incorrect as CoO2 is not used as a catalyst in the preparation of methanol.
B is incorrect as CuO2 is not used as a catalyst in the preparation of methanol.
C is incorrect as Ag2O is not used as a catalyst in the preparation of methanol.
D is correct as Cr2O3 is used as a catalyst in the preparation of methanol.
CO + H2 → CH3 + OH (reaction)
CoO2 is not used as a catalyst in the preparation of methano
CuO2 is not used as a catalyst in the preparation of methanol
Ag2O is not used as a catalyst in the preparation of methanol
Cr2O3 is used as a catalyst in the preparation of methanol.
