The shift conversion reaction taking place during water gas manufacture is given by__________________?
Correct answer: C. CO + H2O ↔ CO2 + H2
- A. C + H2O ↔ CO + H2
- B. C + 2H2O ↔ CO2 + 2H2
- C. CO + H2O ↔ CO2 + H2
- D. None of these
Explanation
The water-gas shift reaction converts carbon monoxide and steam into carbon dioxide and hydrogen: CO + H₂O ⇌ CO₂ + H₂. It adjusts the hydrogen-to-carbon monoxide ratio in water gas.
