The equation that represents 'coal gasification' is

  1. A \(\mathrm{CO}(\mathrm{g})+\mathrm{H}_2 \mathrm{O}(\mathrm{g}) \xrightarrow[\text { catalyst }]{673 \mathrm{~K}} \mathrm{CO}_2(\mathrm{~g})+\mathrm{H}_2(\mathrm{~g})\)
  2. B \(C (s) +\mathrm{H}_2 \mathrm{O}(\mathrm{g}) \xrightarrow{1273 \mathrm{~K}} \mathrm{CO}(\mathrm{g})+\mathrm{H}_2(\mathrm{~g})\)
  3. C \(2 \mathrm{C}(\mathrm{s})+\mathrm{O}_2(\mathrm{~g})+4 \mathrm{~N}_2(\mathrm{~g}) \xrightarrow{1273 \mathrm{~K}} 2 \mathrm{CO}(\mathrm{g})+4 \mathrm{~N}_2(\mathrm{~g})\)
  4. D \(\mathrm{CH}_4(\mathrm{~g})^{\prime}+\mathrm{H}_2 \mathrm{O}(\mathrm{g}) \xrightarrow{1270 \mathrm{~K}} \mathrm{CO}(\mathrm{g})+3 \mathrm{H}_2(\mathrm{~g})\)

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(B) \(C (s) +\mathrm{H}_2 \mathrm{O}(\mathrm{g}) \xrightarrow{1273 \mathrm{~K}} \mathrm{CO}(\mathrm{g})+\mathrm{H}_2(\mathrm{~g})\)

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

Coal gasification is the process of producing coal gas, a type of syn gas (mixture of carbon monocxide \((\mathrm{CO})\) and Hydrogen \(\left(\mathrm{H}_2\right)\) from coal.…
