Metals like .......... , ........... and .......... give $H _2$ with steam.

  1. iron

  2. magnesium

  3. aluminium

  4. sodium

  5. calcium

  6. none of the above


Correct Option: A,B,C
Explanation:

Metals which react with steam to give $H _2$ gas are Iron, Magnesium and Aluminium.


Magnesium ribbon reacts with steam to give Magnesium oxide and Hydrogen gas.

$Mg$ $+$ $H _2O$ $=$ $MgO$ $+$ $H _2$

Aluminium reacts with steam to give Aluminium Oxide and Hydrogen gas. But the reaction takes place very slowly, as a layer of Aluminium Oxide forms on the metal.

$2Al$ $+$ $3H _2O$ $=$ $Al _2O _3$ $+$ $3H _2$
Iron does not react with cold water. It reacts with steam to form Ferric Oxide and hydrogen gas.

$3Fe$ $+$ $4H _2O$ $=$ $Fe _3O _4$ $+$ $4H _2$
Thus, options A, B  and C are correct.

Sodium ________ reacts vigorously with cold water.

  1. metal

  2. amalgam

  3. in the molten state

  4. none of the above


Correct Option: A
Explanation:

Sodium metal is an extremely reactive metal. When sodium metal comes into contact with water, it displaces hydrogen gas as follows:


$2 Na(s) + 2H _2O \rightarrow 2 NaOH(aq) + H _2(g)$

At $298 \, K$ , assuming ideal behaviour, the average kinetic energy of a deuterium molecule is :

  1. Two times that of a hydrogen molecule

  2. Four times that of a hydrogen molecule

  3. Half of that of a hydrogen molecule

  4. Same as that of a hydrogen molecule


Correct Option: D
Explanation:

Average Kinetic Energy depends only on temperature

$\displaystyle (KE) _{avg} = \frac {3kT} {2} $ per molecule

Under suitable conditions, the following reaction:
Metal+Water $\xrightarrow [  ]{ Heat } $ Oxide or hydroxide of metal + Hydrogen 

may take place? Find which of the following metals, does not react in this way.

  1. Sodium

  2. Copper

  3. Iron

  4. Magnesium


Correct Option: B
Explanation:

Because $Cu$ is placed below ${ H } _{ 2 }$ in reactivity series, hence cannot displace ${ H } _{ 2 }$. Hence reaction does not occur.

Hydrogen gas is manufactured by:

  1. Bosch's process

  2. Haber's process

  3. Ostwald process

  4. Birkeland-Eyde process


Correct Option: A
Explanation:

Among the given option, the Bosch process is correct.

It is the commercial preparation of dihydrogen from water gas.
$C+{ H } _{ 2 }O\longrightarrow CO+{ H } _{ 2 }$
$CO+{ H } _{ 2 }O \xrightarrow { 773K }  { CO } _{ 2 }+{ H } _{ 2 }O$

The process of producing syngas from coal is called ______________.

  1. coal cracking

  2. coal gasification

  3. coal pyrolysis

  4. both $A$ and $B$


Correct Option: B
Explanation:

Coal gasification is the process of producing syngas–a mixture consisting primarily of methane ($C{ H } _{ 4 }$), carbon monoxide (CO), hydrogen (${ H } _{ 2 }$), carbon dioxide ($C{ O } _{ 2 }$) and water vapor (${ H } _{ 2 }O$)–from coal and water, air and/or oxygen.

Dihydrogen can be prepared on a commercial scale by different methods. In its preparation by the action of steam on hydrocarbons, a mixture of $CO$ and $H 2$ gas is formed. It is known as __________.

  1. water gas

  2. syngas

  3. producer gas

  4. industrial gas


Correct Option: A,B
Explanation:

Steam reforming is a method for producing hydrogen, carbon monoxide, or other useful products from hydrocarbon fuels such as natural gas. This is achieved in a processing device called a reformer which reacts steam at high temperature with the fossil fuel.

Steam reforming of natural gas - sometimes referred to as steam methane reforming (SMR) - is the most common method of producing commercial bulk hydrogen. Hydrogen is used in the industrial synthesis of ammonia and other chemicals. At high temperatures (700 – 1100 °C) and in the presence of a metal-based catalyst (nickel), steam reacts with methane to yield carbon monoxide and hydrogen.

$C{ H } _{ 4 }+{ H } _{ 2 }O\leftrightharpoons CO+3{ H } _{ 2 }$

Following reaction is called __________ reaction.
$CO (g)\ +\ H _2O (g) \xrightarrow [catalyst]{673} CO _2(g)\ +\ H _2(g)$

  1. combustion

  2. disproportionate

  3. coal gasification

  4. water-gas shift


Correct Option: D
Explanation:

The water-gas shift reaction (WGSR) describes the reaction of carbon monoxide and water vapor to form carbon dioxide and hydrogen (the mixture of carbon monoxide and hydrogen is known as water gas):

$CO+{ H } _{ 2 }O\rightleftharpoons C{ O } _{ 2 }+{ H } _{ 2 }$

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

  1. $CH _4(g) +\ H _2O(g) \xrightarrow[Ni]{1270 K} CO(g) +\ 3H _2(g)$

  2. $CO(g) +\ H _2O(g) \xrightarrow[Catalyst]{673 K} CO _2(g) +\ H _2(g)$

  3. $CnH _{2n+2}(g) +\ nH _2O(g) \xrightarrow[Ni]{1270 K} nCO(g) +\ (2n+1)H _2(g)$

  4. $CO(g) +\ 2H _2(g) \xrightarrow[Catalyst]{Cobalt} CH _3OH(l)$


Correct Option: D
Explanation:

Carbon monoxide and hydrogen react over a catalyst to produce methanol. Today, the most widely used catalyst is a mixture of copper and zinc oxides, supported on alumina, as first used by ICI in 1966. At 5–10 MPa (50–100 atm) and 250 °C (482 °F), the reaction is characterized by high selectivity (>99.8%): 

$\\ CO+2{ H } _{ 2 }→C{ H } _{ 3 }OH$

Water gas is also called as syngas

  1. True

  2. False


Correct Option: A
Explanation:

Water gas is actually an older terminology. From the view point of composition, they both have the same components: Hydrogen and carbon monoxide, with or without some amount of carbon dioxide. However, what is different is the way they are produced. Water gas was usually produced by passing steam over red hot coke. On the other hand syngas is mainly produced industrially by steam reforming of natural gas that involves catalytic decomposition of methane in steam to give the resultant mixture along with the traditional coal gasification and various other methods.

In Syngas-Bosch process,$CO$ is removed from syngas($CO+H _2$) by:

  1. reducing to coke

  2. oxidising to carbon dioxide

  3. using density difference

  4. all of the above


Correct Option: B
Explanation:

 This process of removal of $CO$ from syngas uses the water-gas shift reaction:

$CO + H _2O \longrightarrow CO _2 + H _2$

Which method is used to remove $CO$ from syngas($CO+H _2$) during Syngas Bosch process?

  1. Oxidation by using $KMnO _4$

  2. Oxidation by mixing steam

  3. Oxidation by using $K _2Cr _2O _7$

  4. All of these


Correct Option: B
Explanation:

 This process of removal of $CO$ from syngas uses the water-gas shift reaction:

$CO + H _2O(steam) \longrightarrow CO _2 + H _2$

The formation of atomic hydrogen is favored at:

  1. high temperature and low pressure

  2. low pressure and high temperature

  3. high temperature and high pressure

  4. low temperature and low pressure


Correct Option: A
Explanation:

The formation of atomic hydrogen is favored at high temperature and low pressure. The enthalpy of formation of atomic hydrogen is 217.97 kJ. This is the enthalpy change when a mole of atomic hydrogen is formed by dissociating 1/2 mole of molecular hydrogen (the more stable state of the element).)

Water gas is mixed with steam and the mixture is passed over heated $Fe _{2}O _{3}$ in presence of $Cr _{2}O _{3}.$
The mixture when passed in water dissolves $CO _{2}$ and dihydro gen left undissolved is collected. This method of preparation of hydrogen gas is known as:

  1. Bosch process

  2. Lane process

  3. Kellner process

  4. Hall process


Correct Option: A
Explanation:

For the commercial preparation of dihydrogen, Bosch process is used.


In Bosch's process, water gas (i.e. $CO+H _2$ ) is mixed with twice of its volume of steam in presence of catalysts $Fe _2O _3$ and $Cr _2O _3$ or $ThO _2$ where $Cr _2O _3$ acts as promoter. It gives the products $CO _2$ and $H _2$. Now, $CO _2$ is dissolved in water & removed leaving $H _2$ behind which is undissolved.

hydrogen peroxid  is not produced by the reaction :-

  1. $Na _2O _2 + dil.H _2SO _4$

  2. $Mg + H _2O$

  3. $BaO _2 + HCl$

  4. $BaO _2 + H _3PO _4$


Correct Option: B
Explanation:

Sodium peroxide $\left( { Na } _{ 2 }{ O } _{ 2 } \right) $, when it reacts with sulphuric acid $\left( { H } _{ 2 }{ SO } _{ 4 } \right) $, it leads to the formation of sodium sulphate $\left( { Na } _{ 2 }{ SO } _{ 4 } \right) $ with hydrogen peroxide $\left( { H } _{ 2 }{ O } _{ 2 } \right) $.

${ Na } _{ 2 }{ O } _{ 2 }+{ H } _{ 2 }{ SO } _{ 4 }\longrightarrow { Na } _{ 2 }{ SO } _{ 4 }+{ H } _{ 2 }{ O } _{ 2 }$
Also, $Mg+{ H } _{ 2 }O\longrightarrow { Mg\left( OH \right)  } _{ 2 }$
${ BaO } _{ 2 }+HCl\longrightarrow Ba{ Cl } _{ 2 }+{ H } _{ 2 }{ O } _{ 2 }$
${ BaO } _{ 2 }+{ H } _{ 3 }{ PO } _{ 4 }\longrightarrow { Ba } _{ 3 }{ \left( { PO } _{ 4 } \right)  } _{ 2 }+{ H } _{ 2 }{ O } _{ 2 }$
Thus, in all of the above reactions, hydrogen peroxide $\left( { H } _{ 2 }{ O } _{ 2 } \right) $ is formed.
