Question 1. To solve this question, you will need to utilize a numeric solving software (e.g. Python, MATLAB, Microsoft Excel). Methanol is produced by the reaction: CO+2H2CH3OH Given the following thermodynamic information: G2980=24.32molkJH2980=90.64molkJ (a) Plot the equilibrium conversion versus temperature (from 300 to 800K ) at pressures of 1 bar, 10 bar, 50 bar, and 200 bar. You may assume that H0 is not a function of temperature. (b) Should this reaction be run at low or high temperatures? (c) Should this reaction be run at low or high pressures? (d) Would the conversion be higher in an isothermal or adiabatic reactor
