(a)CH4(g)+H2O(g)1270 K−−−NiCO(g)+3H2(g)(b)C(s)+H2O(g)1270 K−−−CO(g)+H2(g)(c)CO(g)+H2O(g)673K−−−−CatalystCO2(g)+H2(g)(d)C2H6+2H2O(g)1270 K−−−Ni2CO(g)+5H2(g)

Solution

(b)

The process of producing syn gas or synthesis gas from coal is called 'coal gasification'.

The production of hydrogen can be increased by reacting carbon monoxide of the syn gas with steam in the presence of iron chromate as a catalyst at 673 K.

CO(g)+H2O(g)FeCrO4,673 k−−−−−−−CO2(g)+H2(g)

CO2 is removed by scrubbing with a solution of sodium arsenite.
