The equation that represents the water - gas shift reactions is:
  1. (A)✓ Correct
  2. (B)
  3. (C)
  4. (D)

Answer: (A)

Solution

The water-gas shift reaction takes the carbon monoxide already present in water gas and reacts it with further steam over a catalyst at about K, , converting the CO to while releasing more hydrogen. The remaining equations describe the production of water gas or of synthesis gas, not the shift step itself.
