Question

During water-gas shift reaction

(A) carbon is oxidized to carbon monoxide.
(B) water is evaporated in presence of catalyst.
(C) carbon dioxide is reduced to carbon monoxide.
(D) carbon monoxide is oxidized to carbon dioxide.

Correct answer: D. The production of dihydrogen can be increased by reacting CO of Syn gas mixture with steam in the presence of iron chromate as catalyst. In this reaction carbon monoxide is oxidized to carbon dioxide. CO(g) + H2O(g) Catalyst K 673     CO2(g) + H2(g) Water gas shift Reaction.
