Assignment:
Methanol production process is operated at temperatures of 25 - 30 degrees & a pressure of 50 - 100 atmospheres, in the presence of a copper based catalyst. Comment on whether these operating conditions (250 - 300 degrees & 50-100 atmospheres) are consistent with the aims of achieving a high equilibrium yield of methanol and a high rate of production, noting conflicts, and explain the role of copper based catalyst, noting how its presence helps to address any conflicts, and impacts of overall costs of the production process.
Provide complete and step by step solution for the question and show calculations and use formulas.
