  1. Question 1

    Q1. A chemical engineer is optimizing the industrial production of 'wood spirit' from water gas. Which catalyst combination is essential for this process?

    • A) ZnO + Cr2O3
    • B) V2O5 + Al2O3
    • C) Fe + Mo
    • D) Ni + Al2O3

    Answer: ZnO + Cr2O3

    Explanation: The industrial synthesis of methanol from water gas requires ZnO-Cr2O3; V2O5 is tempting but used for sulfuric acid production.
