Q1. In a chemical plant producing methanol from water gas, the reaction is carried out at 450C and 200 atm. Which catalyst is utilized?
Answer: ZnO and Cr2O3
Explanation: Methanol is industrially synthesized using ZnO-Cr2O3 catalyst at 450C. Al2O3 is a dehydrating agent, not used for methanol synthesis from water gas.
