Question:
Which of the following reactions is an example of use of water gas in the
synthesis of other compounds?
(i) CH4 (g) + H2O (g) → (1270KNi) CO (g) + H2 (g)
(ii) CO (g) + H2O (g) → (Catalyst673K) CO2 (g) + H2 (g)
(iii) CnH2n+2 + nH2O (g) → (1270KNi) nCO + (2n+1) H2
(iv) CO (g) + 2H2 (g) Cobalt → (Catalyst) CH3OH (l)
Solution:
Option (iv) CO (g) + 2H2 (g) Cobalt → (Catalyst) CH3OH (l) is the answer.
