Reaction of steam on hydrocarbon or coke at high temperature in presence of catalyst yields a mixture of gases. (a) Name the gases produced. (b) Write a reaction of the above mentioned process. (c) What is a specific name given to the mixture of gases? (d) Write the reaction when the mixture of gases is reacted with steam in presence of iron chromate as catalyst. Also give the special name of this reaction.

Answer»

(a) Carbon monoxide and dihydrogen

(b) CnH2n+2 + nH2\(\overset{1270\,K}{\underset{Ni}{\longrightarrow}}\) nCO + (2n + 1)H2

(c) Synthetic gas or syngas or water gas.

(d) CO(g) + H2O(l) \(\overset{673\,K}{\underset{FeCrO_4}{\longrightarrow}}\) CO2(g) + H2(g)

Water-gas shift reaction is the special name of this reaction.
