Dihydrogen can be prepared on a commercial scale by different methods. In its preparation by the action of steam on hydrocarbons, a mixture of CO and H2 gas is formed. It is known as ___________.

The correct options are
A water gas
D syngas
Steam reforming is a method
for producing hydrogen, carbon monoxide, or other useful products from
hydrocarbon fuels such as natural gas. This is achieved in a processing device
called a reformer which reacts steam at high temperature with the fossil fuel.
Steam reforming of natural gas
- sometimes referred to as steam methane reforming (SMR) - is the most common
method of producing commercial bulk hydrogen. Hydrogen is used in the
industrial synthesis of ammonia and other chemicals. At high temperatures (700
– 1100 °C) and in the presence of a metal-based catalyst (nickel), steam reacts
with methane to yield carbon monoxide and hydrogen.
CH4+H2O⇋CO+3H2
