Answer 2

Water-gas reaction

Explanation:

(i) Industrial production of hydrogen gas is made through the water-gas reaction.

(ii) The water-gas reaction involves reaction between carbon monoxide and water over a suitable catalyst to enrich the gaseous mixture with H2. Traditionally, iron-chromium (Fe-Cr) and copper-zinc (Cu-Zn) have been used as catalysts to facilitate the water-gas reaction at high and low temperatures, respectively.

(iii) C + H2O → CO + H2 (g)
