Chapter 21, Problem 21.128QP

Interpretation Introduction

Interpretation:

The balanced equations for the preparation of methanol, ${\text{CH}}_{\text{3}}\text{OH}$ from ethane, ${\text{C}}_{\text{2}}{\text{H}}_{\text{6}}$ and water has to be written.

Concept Introduction:

Balanced Chemical equation:

A balanced chemical equation is an equation which contains same elements in same number on both the sides (reactant and product side) of the chemical equation thereby obeying the law of conservation of mass.

To Write: The balanced equations for the preparation of methanol, ${\text{CH}}_{\text{3}}\text{OH}$ from ethane, ${\text{C}}_{\text{2}}{\text{H}}_{\text{6}}$ and water
