Which of the following reactions increases the production of...

Which of the following reactions increases the production of dihydrogen from synthesis gas?

Options

  1. ACH4(g)+H2O(g)→Ni1270KCO(g)+3H2(g){CH}_{4}\left(g\right) + {H}_{2}O\left(g\right)\mathop{\to}_{Ni}^{1270K}CO\left(g\right) + 3{H}_{2}\left(g\right)
  2. BC(s)+H2O(g)⟶1270KCO(g)+H2(g)C\left(s\right) + {H}_{2}O\left(g\right)\overset{1270K}{⟶}CO\left(g\right) + {H}_{2}\left(g\right)
  3. CCO(g)+H2O(g)→Catalyst673KCO2(g)+H2(g)CO\left(g\right) + {H}_{2}O\left(g\right)\mathop{\to}_{Catalyst}^{673K}{CO}_{2}\left(g\right) + {H}_{2}\left(g\right)
  4. DC2H6+2H2O→Ni1270K2CO+5H2{C}_{2}{H}_{6} + 2{H}_{2}O\mathop{\to}_{Ni}^{1270K}2CO + 5{H}_{2},

Correct answer

C. CO(g)+H2O(g)→Catalyst673KCO2(g)+H2(g)CO\left(g\right) + {H}_{2}O\left(g\right)\mathop{\to}_{Catalyst}^{673K}{CO}_{2}\left(g\right) + {H}_{2}\left(g\right)

Step-by-step solution

The process of producing syn gas or synthesis gas from coal is called 'coal gasification'.

C(s)Coal+H2O(g)Steam→Ni1270KCO(g)+H2(g)⏟Synthesisgas\mathop{C\left(s\right)}_{Coal} + \mathop{{H}_{2}O\left(g\right)}_{Steam}\mathop{\to}_{Ni}^{1270K}\mathop{\mathop{CO\left(g\right) + {H}_{2}\left(g\right)}_{⏟}}_{Synthesis gas}

The production of hydrogen can be increased by reacting carbon monoxide of the syn gas with steam in the presence of iron chromate as a catalyst at 673K673K.

CO(g)+H2O(g)⟶FeCrO4,673KCO2(g)+H2(g)CO\left(g\right) + {H}_{2}O\left(g\right)\overset{{FeCrO}_{4}, 673K}{⟶}{CO}_{2}\left(g\right) + {H}_{2}\left(g\right)

CO2{CO}_{2} is removed by scrubbing with a solution of sodium arsenite.
