    C) \[C{{H}_{3}}C{{H}_{2}}{{C}_{2}}OH\]      

    D) \[{{(C{{H}_{3}})}_{2}}CHOH\]

    Correct Answer: A

    Methyl alcohol is manufactured from water gas. In this process, water gas (an equimolar mixture of \[CO\] and \[{{H}_{2}}\]) is heated with half its volume of hydrogen in the presence of a catalyst. \[CO+{{H}_{2}}+{{H}_{2}}\xrightarrow[300-{{400}^{o}}C]{C{{r}_{2}}{{O}_{3}}-ZnO}C{{H}_{3}}OH\] water gas                                                Methyl Alcohol                                                 (Patart Process)
