To write a balanced chemical equation for the reaction of carbon monoxide (CO) with hydrogen gas (H₂) to form methyl alcohol (methanol, CH₃OH), we can start by identifying the reaction that takes place.
The unbalanced equation for the reaction is:
\[ \text{CO} + \text{H}_2 \rightarrow \text{CH}_3\text{OH} \]
Now, let's balance the equation.
The balanced equation looks like this:
\[ \text{CO} + 2 \text{H}_2 \rightarrow
