The production of dihydrogen obtained from coal gasification can be increased by reacting carbon monoxide of syngas mixture with steam in presence of a catalyst iron chromate. What is this process called?

A

Hydrogen reaction

B

Water-gas shift reaction

C

Coal-gas shift reaction

D

Syn gasification

Answer

Water-gas shift reaction

Explanation

Solution

: The production of dihydrogen can be increased by reacting carbon monoxide of syngas with steam. This is called water-gas shift reaction.

CO(g)+H2O(g)→673kCatalyst(mRizjsd)CO2(g)+H2(g)CO_{(g)} + H_{2}O_{(g)}\underset{Catalyst(mRizjsd)}{\overset{\quad 673k\quad}{\rightarrow}}CO_{2(g)} + H_{2(g)}
