The reaction to prepare methanol from carbon monoxide and hydrogen ‍ is exothermic. If you wanted to use this reaction to produce methanol commercially, would high or low temperatures favor a maximum yield? Explain.

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.

More over,high temperature evaporates methanol.

hope this

explanation:

covalent bonds

consist of pairs of electrons shared by two atoms, and bind the atoms to fixed orientation and requre high energies to break them

ionic bonds

when two atoms differ considerably in their electronegativity, then one of the atoms will lose its electron to the other atom. this results in a positively charged ion(cation) and a negatively charged ion (anion)
