Methanol is synthesized from carbon monoxide and hydrogen in a catalytic reactor. The fresh feed to the process contains 32.0 mole % CO, 64.0 % H 2, and 4.0 % Ne. This stream is mixed with a recycle stream in a ratio 5 mol recycle/ 1 mol fresh feed to produce the feed to the reactor, which contains 13.0 mole% N2. A low single-pass conversion is attained in the reactor. The reactor effluent goes to a condenser from which two streams emerge: a liquid product stream containing essentially all the m

SOLVED: 2.Methanol is produced in the reaction of carbon dioxide and hydrogen CO 3H-CH3OH HO The fresh feed to the process contains hydrogen, carbon dioxide,and 0.4mole% inerts 1.The reactor effluent passes to a condenser that removes essentially all the methanol and water formed in the reaction. However, none of the reactants and inerts are removed. The latter substances are recycled to the reactor. To avoid buildup of the inerts in the system, a purge stream is withdrawn from the recycling. Th

SOLVED:Drinking methanol can cause blindness and death, depending on the dosage. The causative agent is formaldehyde derived from methanol. a. Draw the balanced chemical reaction for the conversion of methanol to formaldehyde. b. Why would administering whiskey (ethanol) to a person poisoned with methanol be a good antidote?
