Question

Hydrogen can be prepared by mixing steam and water gas at 673 K in presence of $F{e}_2{O}_3$ and $C{r}_2{O}_3$. This process is called:

• A. Laboratory preparation of hydrogen
• B. Electrolysis of water
• C. Bosch's process
• D. Hasenclever method

Answer 1

The correct option is C Bosch's process

Bosch process is one of the commercial process for the production of hydrogen. In this process, hydrogen can be obtained by the reaction of carbon monoxide and water at 673 K and in presence of catalyst $F{e}_2{O}_3$.
$CO\left(g\right)+H_{2}O\left(g\right)\underset{\underset{\left(Catalyst\right)}{F{e}_2{O}_3}}{\overset{673K}{\to }}C{O}_2\left(g\right)+H_2\left(g\right)$
