Question

Name the organic compound prepared in the following reaction:

$\mathrm{CO}+2{\mathrm{H}}_2\to$

Answer 1

• The product formed in the given reaction is Methanol ($C{H}_{3}OH$).
• The complete chemical equation is as follows:

$\underset{\mathrm{Carbon}\mathrm{monoxide}}{\mathrm{CO}\left(\mathrm{g}\right)}+\underset{\mathrm{Hydrogen}}{2{\mathrm{H}}_2\left(\mathrm{g}\right)}\to \underset{\mathrm{Methanol}}{{\mathrm{CH}}_3\mathrm{OH}\left(\mathrm{l}\right)}$
