Which of the following reaction is an example of use of water gas in the synthesis of other compounds ?

Options

A. `CH_(4)(g)+H_(2)O(g) overset(1270K)underset(Ni)rarrCO(g)+H_2(g)`
B. `CO(g)+H_(2)O(g) overset(673K)underset("Catalyst")rarrCO_(2)(g)+H_2(g)`
C. `C_(n)H_(2n+2)+nH_(2)O(g)overset(1270K)underset(Ni)rarrnCO+(2n+1)H_2`
D. `CO(g)+2H_(2)(g)overset("Cobalt")underset("Catalyst")rarrCH_3OH(l)`

Answer

D

Explanation

The water gas is the combination of carbon monoxide and hydrogen.
`CO(g)+2H_(2)(g) overset("Cobalt")underset("Catalyst")rarrCH_3OH(l)`
It is an example of water gas used in the synthesis of methanol.
