In water-gas shift reaction, hydrogen gas is produced from the reaction of steam

In water-gas shift reaction, hydrogen gas is produced from the reaction of steam with:

  • A. methane
  • B. coke
  • C. carbon monoxide
  • D. carbon dioxide

Step-by-step solution

The water-gas shift reaction is a chemical reaction in which carbon monoxide reacts with steam (water vapor) to produce carbon dioxide and hydrogen gas: CO + H2O → CO2 + H2. Therefore, hydrogen gas is produced from the reaction of steam with carbon monoxide.
