Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The water gas shift reaction involves the reaction between carbon monoxide and water vapor to produce carbon dioxide and hydrogen gas. The balanced chemical equation for this reaction is CO(g) + H2O(g) → CO2(g) + H2(g), which is equivalent to option C when H₂O is substituted for H2O and H₂ is substituted for H2.
