At high pressure and regulated supply of air, methane is heated with catalyst ' X ' to give methanol and with catalyst ' \(Y\) ' to give methanal. \(X\) and \(Y\) respectively are

  1. A \(\mathrm{Mo}_2 \mathrm{O}_3, \mathrm{Cu}\)
  2. B \(\mathrm{Cu}_{,} \mathrm{Mo}_2 \mathrm{O}_3\)
  3. C \(\mathrm{V}_2 \mathrm{O}_5, \mathrm{KMnO}_4\)
  4. D \(\mathrm{KMnO}_4, \mathrm{Cr}_2 \mathrm{O}_3\)
Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(B) \(\mathrm{Cu}_{,} \mathrm{Mo}_2 \mathrm{O}_3\)

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

2 \mathrm{CH}_4+\mathrm{O}_2 \xrightarrow{\mathrm{Cu} / 523 \mathrm{~K} / 100 \mathrm{~atm}} \underset{\substack{\text { Methanol }}}{2 \mathrm{CH}_3 \mathrm{OH}}\xrightarrow[\Delta]{\mathrm{Mo}_2 \mathrm{O}_3} \underset{\text { Methanal }}{\mathrm{HCHO}+\mathrm{H}_2 \mathrm{O}}
