Question

Which of the following is the correct word equation for the reaction described below? Methanol (CH3OH) forms when carbon monoxide reacts with hydrogen. carbon monoxide + methanol → hydrogen methanol → carbon monoxide + hydrogen carbon monoxide + hydrogen → methanol methanol + hydrogen → carbon dioxide

Answer 1

carbon monoxide + hydrogen → methanol

Answer 2

When carbon monoxide reacts with hydrogen then methanol is formed .

That means here reactants are hydrogen and carbon monoxide and the product is methanol.

The equation can be represented as:

CO+2H₂----->CH₃OH

In word it can be written as:

Carbon monoxide +hydrogen----->Methanol
