Choose an option
Show full solutionCorrect option: A
Correct answer
ACO(g) + H2O(g) CO2(g) + H2(g)
Step-by-step explanation
(A) Water gas shift reaction
CO(g) + H2O(g) CO2(g) + H2(g)
(B) Water gas is produced by this reaction
CH4(g) + H2O(g) CO(g) + 3H2(g)
(C) Water gas is produced by this reaction
C(s) + H2O(g) CO(g) + H2(g)
(D) Producer gas is produced by this reaction
2C(s) + O2(g) + 4N2(g) 2CO(g) + 4N2(g)
CO(g) + H2O(g) CO2(g) + H2(g)
(B) Water gas is produced by this reaction
CH4(g) + H2O(g) CO(g) + 3H2(g)
(C) Water gas is produced by this reaction
C(s) + H2O(g) CO(g) + H2(g)
(D) Producer gas is produced by this reaction
2C(s) + O2(g) + 4N2(g) 2CO(g) + 4N2(g)
