Solution
\[\ce{\underset{Carbon monoxide}{{CO}_{(g)}} + \underset{Hydrogen}{2H2_{(g)}} ->[300 atm; 300^\circ C][ZnO + CrO3] \underset{(Methyl alcohol)}{\underset{Methanol}{CH3OH_{(l)}}}}\]
The conditions for this reaction to take place are: a pressure of 300 atmospheres (300 atm), a temperature of 300°C, and a catalyst consisting of a mixture of zinc oxide and chromium oxide (ZnO + CrO3).
