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.

chemical energy is stored in the chemical bonds of atoms and molecules. it can only be seen when it is released in a chemical reaction. when chemical energy is released, the substance from which the energy came is often changed into an entirely different substance.

this chemical reaction releases energy in the form of light and heat. chemical energy is the potential energy stored in the arrangement of atoms within molecules. breaking chemical bonds requires energy, while forming new chemical bonds releases energy.

the atp molecule can store energy in the form of a high energy phosphate bond joining the terminal phosphate group to the rest of the molecule. in this form,energy can be stored at one location, then moved from one part of the cell to another, where it can be released to drive other biochemical reactions.
