Under certain conditions, carbon (IV) oxide reacts with water to form methanol (#CH_3OH)# and oxygen as shown below:
#2CO_2(g)+4H_2O(I)overset(rightarrow)(leftarrow) 2CH_3OH(I)+3O_2(g)#: H= +1452kJ
What would be the effect on the yield of methanol if the temperature of the reaction mixture is increased? Explain.
