Which of the following reactions occuring during coal gasification is called the Neumann reversal reaction ?

Correct answer: A. 2CO ↔ C + CO2

  • A. 2CO ↔ C + CO2
  • B. CO + H2O ↔ CO2 + H2
  • C. C + H2O ↔ CO + H2
  • D. C + 2H2O ↔ CO2 + 2H2

Explanation

The Neumann reversal is the reverse carbon monoxide decomposition reaction, written as 2CO ⇌ C + CO2. It is closely related to carbon deposition and the Boudouard equilibrium during gasification.
