The gasification reaction represented by, C + H2O = CO + H2, is__________________?
Correct answer: B. Endothermic
- A. Exothermic
- B. Endothermic
- C. Catalytic
- D. Autocatalytic
Explanation
The water-gas reaction, C + H2O → CO + H2, requires heat because the products have a higher enthalpy than the reactants. It is therefore endothermic and must be supported by a heating or combustion step in gasification.
