The reaction in low temperature will favor maximum yield.
Explanation:
Methanol is mainly produced by hydrogenation of carbon monoxide.It is the simplest alcohol which contain methyl group that is linked with hydroxyl group.Methanol is volatile,colorless,flammable liquid.
Ethanol is less toxic than methanol.Methanol is the precursor of acetic acid,methyl tertiary butyl ether.
During formation of commercial methanol,carbon dioxide and water acts as poisons to alkali metal methoxide catalyst in low temperature in methanol synthesis reaction.
To determine limiting reactant divide mole quantities of reactants by the respective coefficient in the balanced equation. The smaller value is the limiting reactant.
P₄ + 5O₂ => 2P₂O₅
12/1 = 12 15/5 = 3
O₂ is the limiting reactant. P₄ will be in excess when rxn stops.
All the answers are on the actual periodic table. You should never be told to remember it so I think this is a recourse you are allowed to look at whilst doing your homework lol :) all the answers are written on it hope it helps
