Identify the product formed by the action of $\mathrm{H}_{2(\mathrm{~g})}$ with $\mathrm{CO}_{(\mathrm{g})}$ in presence of $\mathrm{Ni}$.
  1. Methane and water
  2. Methyl alcohol
  3. Acetaldehyde
  4. Ethylene oxide

Solution

$\mathrm{CO}_{(\mathrm{g})}+3 \mathrm{H}_{2(\mathrm{~g})} \stackrel{\mathrm{Ni}}{\longrightarrow} \mathrm{CH}_{4(\mathrm{~g})}+\mathrm{H}_2 \mathrm{O}_{(\mathrm{g})}$
