Which of the following reactions indicates the Fischer-tropsch method?(a) nC+H(2n+2) → CnH(2n+2)(b) nC+H2n→ CnH2n(c) nCO+2nH2 → CnH2n+nH2O(d) nC+H(2n-1) → CnH(2n-1)I had been asked this question in homework.My doubt stems from Mining of Petroleum topic in chapter Fuel Technologies of Applied Chemistry

Answer»

Correct OPTION is (C) nCO+2nH2 → CnH2n+nH2O

The explanation is: The equation nCO+2nH2 → CnH2n+nH2O represents the Fischer-tropsch method, here the catalyst used is NI or CO. The other three reactions indicates the Bergius PROCESS or HYDROGENATION of coal.
