The gasification reaction represented by, C + H2O = CO + H2, is a/an _________________ reaction?

Correct answer: B. Endothermic

  • A. Exothermic
  • B. Endothermic
  • C. Catalytic
  • D. Autocatalytic

Explanation

The reaction of carbon with steam to form water gas requires heat, with its enthalpy change being positive. It is therefore endothermic, unlike the subsequent combustion reactions that supply furnace heat.
