Q1. A chemical engineer is optimizing the industrial production of 'wood spirit' from water gas. Which catalyst combination is essential for this process?
Answer: ZnO + Cr2O3
Explanation: The industrial synthesis of methanol from water gas requires ZnO-Cr2O3; V2O5 is tempting but used for sulfuric acid production.
