3. The manufacture of methanol can be represented by the following equation. CO(g) + 2H2(g) → CH3OH(g) AH = -128 kJ/mol The yield of methanol is 45% when the following set of operating conditions is used: Pressure: 200 atm Temperature: 400°C Catalyst: Zno With the intention of increasing the yield of methanol, a student suggested other sets of conditions as tabulated below: Condition Pressure/atm Temp./°C Catalyst Additional Step 1 100 400 Zno N/A II 200 200 Zno N/A III 200 400 Cr2O3 N/A IV 200 400 Zno Increase the amount of CO V 200 400 Zno Condense the methanol produced For each suggested set of conditions, decide and explain whether it can increase the yield of methanol.
