| List I | List II | ||
|---|---|---|---|
| A. | Cobalt catalyst | I. | $\mathrm{(H_2+Cl_2)}$ production |
| B. | Syngas | II. | Water gas production |
| C. | Nickel catalyst | III. | Coal gasification |
| D. | Brine solution | IV. | Methanol production |
Choose the correct answer from the options given below :
Solution
(A) Hydrogen reacts with carbon monoxide in presence of cobalt catalyst to give methanol
<br/><br/>
$$
2 \mathrm{H}_{2}(\mathrm{~g})+\mathrm{CO}(\mathrm{g}) \stackrel{\text { cobalt catalyst }}{\longrightarrow} \mathrm{CH}_{3} \mathrm{OH}(\mathrm{I})
$$
<br/><br/>
(B) Syn gas is produced from coal and the process is called coal gasification.
<br/><br/>
$$
\mathrm{C}(\mathrm{s})+\mathrm{H}_{2} \mathrm{O}(\mathrm{g}) \stackrel{1270 \mathrm{~K}}{\longrightarrow} \underset{(\text { syn gas) }}{\mathrm{CO}(\mathrm{g})+\mathrm{H}_{2}(\mathrm{~g})}
$$
<br/><br/>
(C) Reaction of steam with hydrocarbons or coke at high temperature in presence of nickel catalyst gives a mixture of $\mathrm{CO}$ and $\mathrm{H}_{2}$, called water gas
<br/><br/>
$$
\mathrm{CH}_{4}(\mathrm{~g})+\mathrm{H}_{2} \mathrm{O}(\mathrm{g}) \underset{{\mathrm{Ni}}}{\stackrel{1270 \mathrm{~K}}{\longrightarrow}}\underset{(\text { water gas })}{\mathrm{CO}(\mathrm{g})+3 \mathrm{H}_{2}(\mathrm{~g})}
$$<br/><br/>
(D) Electrolysis of brine solution produces $\mathrm{H}_{2}$ gas at cathode and $\mathrm{Cl}_{2}$ gas at anode
<br/><br/>
$\mathrm{NaCl}(\mathrm{aq}) \longrightarrow \mathrm{Na}^{+}(\mathrm{aq})+\mathrm{Cl}^{-}(\mathrm{aq})$
<br/><br/>
Cathode : $2 \mathrm{H}_{2} \mathrm{O}(\mathrm{l})+2 \mathrm{e}^{-} \longrightarrow \mathrm{H}_{2}(\mathrm{~g})+2 \mathrm{OH}^{-}(\mathrm{aq})$
<br/><br/>
Anode : $2 \mathrm{Cl}^{-}(\mathrm{aq}) \longrightarrow \mathrm{Cl}_{2}(\mathrm{~g})+2 \mathrm{e}^{-}$
