H_f^ (298 ~K ) of methanol is given by the chemical equation
Options
- ACH _ 4(g) + 1 2 O _ 2(g) CH ₃ OH _ (g)
- BC (graphite) + 1 2 O _ 2(g) +2 H _ 2(g) CH ₃ OH
- CC (diamond) + 1 2 O _ 2(g) +2 H _ 2(g) CH ₃ OH
- DCO _ (g) +2 H _ 2(g) CH ₃ OH _ (l) .
Correct answer
B. C (graphite) + 1 2 O _ 2(g) +2 H _ 2(g) CH ₃ OH
Step-by-step solution
Methanol can be prepared synthetically by heating carbon monoxide and hydrogen gases under pressure in the presence of a catalyst. aligned & C (graphite) +1 / 2 O ₂ CO _ (g) & CO _ (g) +2 H _ 2(g) CH ₃ OH aligned C (graphite) +1 / 2 O _ 2(g) +2 H _ 2(g) CH ₃ OH _ (l)
