Given below are two reactions, involved in the commercial production of dihydrogen (H2). The two reactions are carried out at temperature “T1 ” and “T2 ” respectively
\(C(S)+H_2O(g)\underrightarrow {T_1}\;CO(g)+H_2(g)\)
\(CO(g)+H_2O(g)\underrightarrow{T_2}\;CO_2(g)+H_2(g)\)
The temperature \(T_1\) and \(T_2\) are correctly related as
\(C(S)+H_2O(g)\underrightarrow {T_1}\;CO(g)+H_2(g)\)
\(CO(g)+H_2O(g)\underrightarrow{T_2}\;CO_2(g)+H_2(g)\)
The temperature \(T_1\) and \(T_2\) are correctly related as
Show Hint
The water-gas reaction needs very high temperatures. The water-gas shift reac tion, aided by a catalyst, can operate effectively at lower temperatures.
- \(T_1>T_2\)
- \(T_1<T_2\)
- T1=T2
- T1=100 K, T2=1270 K
The Correct Option is A
Solution and Explanation
Water-Gas Reaction
The water-gas reaction requires high temperatures for the reaction to proceed effectively:
Reaction Temperature: \( T_1 \approx 1270 \, \text{K} \)
Water-Gas Shift Reaction
The water-gas shift reaction is typically carried out at lower temperatures in the presence of a catalyst:
Reaction Temperature: \( T_2 \approx 673 \, \text{K} \)
Conclusion:
The temperature for the water-gas reaction (\( T_1 \)) is significantly higher than the temperature for the water-gas shift reaction (\( T_2 \)). Therefore:
\( T_1 > T_2 \)
