Solution

CO(g) and $H_{2}$ (g) react to give different products in the presence of different catalyst. Catalyst selectivity is shown by these reactions. Catalyst selectivity is the ability of a catalyst to direct the reaction in such a way so that only one particular product is formed. ZnO and $C r_{2} O_{3}$ catalyst is used to prepare methanol from CO(g) and $H_{2}$ (g). In Fischer Tropsch process, hydrocarbons are synthesized from CO(g) and $H_{2}$ (g) using Co, $T h O_{2}$ catalyst.
