Solution

$C O (g) + 2 H_{2} (g) 300 a t m; 300^{0} C - ------- \to Z n O + C r O_{3} C H_{3} O H (l)$

The conditions for this reaction to take place are; a pressure of 300 atmosphere (written as 300 atm) a pressure of $300^{0} C$ and a catalyst which is a mixture of zinc oxide and chromium oxide $(Z n O + C r O_{3})$
