There are prizes for correct answers, and prizes as well for responses. By learning from the best practices in the *Brothers section, everyone can improve through asking questions and grow more mature by replying to them. True or False: The two main reaction equations for methanol synthesis are CO + 2H2 = CH3OH + Q and CO2 + 3H2 = CH3OH + H2O + Q. The by-product of these reactions include dimethyl ether, alkanes, dissolved gases, higher alcohols, carbonyl compounds, water, and so on.
Correct. The two main reaction equations for methanol synthesis are: CO + 2H2 = CH3OH + Q and CO2 + 3H2 = CH3OH + H2O + Q. The by-products of these reactions include dimethyl ether, alkanes, dissolved gases, higher alcohols, carbonyl compounds, water, and so on. (V)
