Which of the following is water-gas shift reaction?

Which of the following is water-gas shift reaction?

Options

  1. AC(s)+H2O(g)⟶1270KCO(g)+H2(g)C ( s ) + {H}_{2}O ( g ) \overset{1270K}{⟶}CO ( g ) + {H}_{2} ( g )
  2. BCH4(g)+H2O(g)⟶1270KCO(g)+3H2(g){CH}_{4} ( g ) + {H}_{2}O ( g ) \overset{1270K}{⟶}CO ( g ) + 3{H}_{2} ( g )
  3. CCO(g)+H2O(g)→ironchromate673KCO2(g)+H2(g)CO ( g ) + {H}_{2}O ( g ) \mathop{→}_{ironchromate}^{673K}{CO}_{2} ( g ) + {H}_{2} ( g )
  4. D2H2O(l)→tracesofacid/baseelectrolysis2H2(g)+O2(g)2{H}_{2}O ( l ) \mathop{→}_{tracesofacid / base}^{electrolysis}2{H}_{2} ( g ) + {O}_{2} ( g )

Correct answer

C. CO(g)+H2O(g)→ironchromate673KCO2(g)+H2(g)CO ( g ) + {H}_{2}O ( g ) \mathop{→}_{ironchromate}^{673K}{CO}_{2} ( g ) + {H}_{2} ( g )

Step-by-step solution

The mixture of& COCO and~H2{H}_{2}~is called as water gas. As the mixture of~COCO~and~H2{H}_{2}~is used for the synthesis of methanol and a number of hydrocarbons, it is also called 'syn gas' or synthesis gas.

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