Q. The alcohol manufactured from water gas is
A) $CH_{3}OH$
B) $C_{2}H_{5}OH$
C) $CH_{3}CH_{2}COOH$
D) $\left( CH_{3} \right)_{2}CHOH$
Explanation
(a)
Methyl alcohol ($CH_{3}OH$) is prepared by passing $H_{2}$ in water gas in presence of catalyst.
$CO + H_{2} + H_{2}\underset{300 - 400℃}{\overset{\ \ {Cr}_{2}O_{3} - ZnO\ \ \ \ \ }{\rightarrow}}CH_{3}OH$
Water gas methyl alcohol
