Question

An industrial fuel, ‘water gas’ which consists of a mixture of H₂ and CO can be made by passing steam over red-hot carbon. The reaction is
\(\mathrm{C}(\mathrm{~s})+\mathrm{H}_{2} \mathrm{O}(\mathrm{~g}) \rightleftharpoons \mathrm{CO}(\mathrm{~g})+\mathrm{H}_{2}(\mathrm{~g}) ; \Delta \mathrm{H}=+131 \mathrm{~kJ}\)
The yield of CO and H₂ at equilibrium would be shifted to the product side by

Accepted Answer

(A) raising the relative pressure of steam, (C) raising the temperature
