Question

A component of water gas is used in the manufacture of ammonia.

• A. True
• B. False

Answer 1

The correct option is A True

• Water gas is a mixture of Carbon monoxide($\mathrm{CO}$) and hydrogen gas(${\mathrm{H}}_2$).
• It is produced by the action of steam with hydrocarbons or coke at a high temperature
• It is used to get pure Hydrogen for the synthesis of Ammonia.
• Ammonia is produced using Haber's process as shown below -
• ${\mathrm{N}}_2\left(\mathrm{g}\right)+3{\mathrm{H}}_2\left(\mathrm{g}\right)\to 2{\mathrm{NH}}_3\left(\mathrm{g}\right)$

Hence, the given statement is True.
