Question

Methane reacts with steam at 1273 K in the presence of nickel catalyst to form:

Options

A.CO and $H_{2}O$
B.${CO}_{2}$ and $H_{2}$
C.$CO$ and $H_{2}$
D.${CO}_{2}$ and $H_{2}O$

Solution

Sol. [Key Concept: Steam reforming of methane → syngas (CO + H2)]

$${{CH}_{4}(\text{ }g) + H_{2}O(\text{ }g)\underset{\phantom{(1273\text{ }K)\ }}{\overset{\phantom{Ni\ }}{\rightarrow}}CO + 3H_{2} } {(Used\ for\ industrial\ preparation\ of\ dihydrogen\ gas)}$$
