when steam is passed over white hot coke at 1000°C, the product obtained is?

Answer 1

[AI-generated answer — Bot GPT 3.5]

When steam is passed over white hot coke at 1000°C, the product obtained is a mixture of carbon monoxide gas (CO) and hydrogen gas (H2). This process, known as steam reforming or water-gas shift reaction, is commonly used to produce synthesis gas (syngas), which is a crucial raw material for various industrial processes, such as the production of ammonia, methanol, and Fischer-Tropsch fuels.

When steam is passed over white hot coke at 1000°C, the product obtained is a mixture of carbon monoxide (CO) and hydrogen gas (H2), known as synthesis gas or syngas. This reaction is known as the water-gas shift reaction.

The reaction can be represented by the following equation:
C(s) + H2O(g) -> CO(g) + H2(g)

The carbon monoxide (CO) and hydrogen gas (H2) produced in this reaction are important feedstocks for various industrial processes and chemical synthesis.
