Identify the catalyst used to transform carbon monoxide from water gas into carbon dioxide
Options
- APotassium dichromate
- BSodium chromate
- CIron chromate
- DNickel
Correct answer
C. Iron chromate
Step-by-step solution
The reaction of carbon monoxide of water gas (syngas) with steam to form carbon dioxide and dihydrogen is called the water-gas shift reaction. CO(g) + H ₂ O(g) Iron chromate, 673 K CO ₂ (g) + H ₂ (g) The catalyst used in this process is iron chromate. Answer: Iron chromate
