8. ii. Pure Dihydrogen can
also be produced by
electrolyzing a warm
solution of Ba(OH)2
using inert electrodes.
9. iii. Also by oxidation of
NaH by water.
NaH+H2O NaOH +H2
10. The mixture of carbon
monoxide and hydrogen is
called water gas.
(Co+H2)
Water gas.
11. Water gas is used in the
preparation of methanol
and other hydrocarbons.
Water gas is also called
syngas or synthesis gas
12. The process of producing
syngas from coal is called
coal gasification.
C(s) +H2O(g) Co(g) +H2(g)
Coal gasification
13. Water gas shift reaction.
When carbon monoxide of
syngas mixtures react with
steam in the presence of
iron chromate as catalyst,
the production of
Dihydrogen increases.
