Steam reforming of naphtha produces ammonia synthesis gas. This is a/an ____________ process?
Correct answer: B. Endothermic
- A. Autocatalytic
- B. Endothermic
- C. Exothermic
- D. Non-catalytic
Explanation
Steam reforming converts hydrocarbons with steam to synthesis gas and requires heat because the reforming reaction is strongly endothermic. Heat must therefore be supplied continuously to the reformer tubes.
