In context with the industrial preparation of hydrogen from water gas (CO + H2), which of the following is the correct statement?

A

(a) CO is removed by absorption in aqueous Cu2Cl2 Solution

A

(b) H2 is removed through occlusion with Pd

A

(c) CO is oxidized to CO2 with steam In the presence of a catalyst followed by absorption of CO2 in alkali

A

(d) CO and H2 are fractionally separated using differences in their densities

Explanation

Solution

(c)

Sol. CO is oxidised to CO2 with steam in the presence of a catalyst followed by absorption of CO2 in alkali.

CO+H2→ catalyst  steam CO2+2H2→KOHK2CO3\mathrm { CO } + \mathrm { H } _ { 2 } \xrightarrow [ \text { catalyst } ] { \text { steam } } \mathrm { CO } 2 + 2 \mathrm { H } _ { 2 } \xrightarrow { \mathrm { KOH } } \mathrm { K } _ { 2 } \mathrm { CO } _ { 3 }
