Answer to Question #159382 in General Chemistry for andrea

Question

At one time, methanol, CH3OH(g), was obtained by heating wood without allowing the wood to burn. The products were collected, and methanol (sometimes called “wood alcohol”) was separated by distillation. Today, methanol is manufactured by reacting carbon monoxide with hydrogen gas: CO(g) + 2H2(g) ⇋ CH3OH(g) At 210°C, Keq for this reaction is 14.5. Is this temperature favourable for the formation of methanol? 

Answer 1

Yes .

This Temperature is favourable for the formation of methanol.
