Methanol, $\text{CH}_3\text{OH}$, is produced industrially from carbon monoxide and hydrogen in the equilibrium reaction below: $\text{CO}(g) + 2\text{H}_2(g) \rightleftharpoons \text{CH}_3\text{OH}(g)$, $\Delta H = -100\,\text{kJ mol}^{-1}$. Which statement about this equilibrium is correct?
- A$K_p$ for the process is $\dfrac{p_{\text{CH}_3\text{OH}}}{p_{\text{CO}} \times p_{\text{H}_2}}$.
- BAn increase in pressure increases the equilibrium yield of methanol.
- CAn increase in temperature increases the equilibrium yield of methanol.
- DThe addition of an effective catalyst increases the equilibrium yield of methanol.
