Textbook QuestionMethanol 1CH3OH2 is made industrially in two steps from CO and H2. It is so cheap to make that it is being considered for use as a precursor to hydrocarbon fuels, such as methane 1CH42: Step 1. CO1g2 + 2 H21g2 S CH3OH1l2 ΔS° = - 332 J>K Step 2. CH3OH1l2 S CH41g2 + 1>2 O21g2 ΔS° = 162 J>K (m) If you were designing a production facility, would you plan on carrying out the reactions in separate steps or together? Explain.
