QuestionWrite the balanced net chemical equation for hydrogen production from propane and water using the reactions provided.
Studdy Solution
STEP 1
Assumptions1. The first reaction is C3H8( g)+3H(g)→3CO(g)+7H( g). The second reaction is CO(g)+H(g)→H( g)+CO( g)3. We need to find the net chemical equation for the production of hydrogen from propane and water.
STEP 2
First, we need to combine the two reactions. This can be done by adding the two equations together.
CH8( g)+H2(g)→CO(g)+7H2( g)CO(g)+H2(g)→H2( g)+CO2( g)
STEP 3
Add the two equations together.
C3H8( g)+3H2(g)+CO(g)+H2(g)→3CO(g)+7H2( g)+H2( g)+CO2( g)
STEP 4
Next, we need to balance the equation. Notice that there are3 CO on the left side and only1 CO on the right side. We can balance this by multiplying the second reaction by3.
C3H8( g)+3H2(g)+3(CO(g)+H2(g))→3CO(g)+7H2( g)+3(H2( g)+CO2( g))
STEP 5
implify the equation.
C3H8( g)+3H2(g)+3CO(g)+3H2(g)→3CO(g)+7H2( g)+3H2( g)+3CO2( g)
STEP 6
Now, we can cancel out the common terms on both sides of the equation. The3 CO on both sides cancel out.
C3H8( g)+3H2(g)+3H2(g)→H2( g)+3H2( g)+3CO2( g)
STEP 7
implify the equation by combining like terms.
C3H( g)+6H2(g)→10H2( g)+3CO2( g)The net chemical equation for the production of hydrogen from propane and water isC3H( g)+6H2(g)→10H2( g)+3CO2( g)
