Question
How is carbon monoxide prepared on a commercial scale?
Solution
Preparation of carbon monoxide on a commercial scale:
(i) By the passage of steam over hot coke.
The mixture of CO and H2 thus produced is known as water gas or synthesis gas.
(ii) By the passage of air over hot cake at 1273 K.
The mixture of CO and H2 thus produced is known as water gas or synthesis gas.
(iii) By the passage of air over hot coke at 1273 K.
The mixture of CO and N2 thus produced is known as producer gas.
