JEE PYQ: Hydrocarbons Question 22
Question 22 - 2020 (05 Sep Shift 1)
The equation that represents the water-gas shift reaction is:
(1) $\text{CH}_4(\text{g}) + \text{H}_2\text{O}(\text{g}) \xrightarrow{1270\text{K}/\text{Ni}} \text{CO}(\text{g}) + 3\text{H}_2(\text{g})$
(2) $2\text{C}(\text{s}) + \text{O}_2(\text{g}) + 4\text{N}_2(\text{g}) \xrightarrow{1273\text{K}} 2\text{CO}(\text{g}) + 4\text{N}_2(\text{g})$
(3) $\text{C}(\text{s}) + \text{H}_2\text{O}(\text{g}) \xrightarrow{1270\text{K}} \text{CO}(\text{g}) + \text{H}_2(\text{g})$
(4) $\text{CO}(\text{g}) + \text{H}_2\text{O}(\text{g}) \xrightarrow{673\text{K}/\text{Catalyst}} \text{CO}_2(\text{g}) + \text{H}_2(\text{g})$
Show Answer
Answer: (4)
Solution
$\text{CO}(\text{g}) + \text{H}_2\text{O}(\text{g}) \xrightarrow{673\text{K}/\text{Catalyst}} \text{CO}_2(\text{g}) + \text{H}_2(\text{g})$. This reaction is called water gas shift reaction.
