Under certain conditions, carbon (IV) oxide reacts with water to form methanol (CH3OH) and oxygen as shown below:2CO2(g)+4H2O(I)→←2CH3OH(I)+3O2(g): H= +1452kJWhat would be the effect on the yield of methanol if the temperature of the reaction mixture is increased? Explain.
Answer Text: - The yield of methanol will increase. The forward reaction is endothermic and increase in temperature favors endothermic process.
