Hydrogen plays an important role in many industrial processes. The following correctly represents a balanced chemical equation for its production by the reaction of propane (C₃H₈, obtained from natural gas) and steam.2 C₃H₈(g) + 3H₂O(g) $\rarr$ 6CO(g) + 7H₂(g)

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The correct balanced chemical equation for the steam reforming of propane to produce hydrogen is: $C_3H_8(g) + 3H_2O(g) \rightarrow 3CO(g) + 7H_2(g)$. The given equation incorrectly represents the products of the reaction.
