Question

In the industrial production of hydrogen via coal gasification, the initial yield of hydrogen in the syngas mixture is relatively low. Which of the following catalytic processes is used to increase the production of dihydrogen from this mixture?

Answer: B

💡 Solution & Explanation

The production of dihydrogen can be increased by reacting carbon monoxide of syngas mixtures with steam in the presence of iron chromate ($FeCrO_4$) as a catalyst at $673\text{ K}$. This is known as the water-gas shift reaction.
