Which of the following are the products of catalytic oxidation of methane?
Correct answer: D. CH3OH
- A. CO2 & H2O
- B. CO & H2O
- C. CO2 & H2
- D. CH3OH
Explanation
Catalytic oxidation of lower alkanes takes place in the presence of a metallic catalyst, for example, Cu, at high temperature and pressure, resulting in the formation of methyl alcohol/methanol. CH4 + [O] --> CH3OH

About Alkanes
Alkanes are saturated hydrocarbons containing only carbon-carbon and carbon-hydrogen single bonds, with the general formula CnH2n+2 for open chains. Their structure, isomerism, IUPAC nomenclature, physical properties, combustion, free-radical halogenation and conformations are covered, including the difference between substitution in alkanes and addition in unsaturated hydrocarbons.
