(a)

Interpretation Introduction

Interpretation:

The components of reaction mixture followed by water-gas shift reaction has to be given.

Concept Introduction:

Water-gas shift reaction:  water gas is heated with steam at ${\text{400}}^{\circ }\text{C}$ over n iron or cobalt oxide catalyst in the exothermic water-gas shift reaction, and the carbon monoxide reacts.

    ${\text{H}}_{\text{2}}{\text{O}}_{\text{(g)}}{\text{ + CO}}_{\text{(g)}}\underset{}{\overset{}{\rightleftharpoons }}{\text{ CO}}_{\text{2(g) }}{\text{+ H}}_{\text{2(g)}}$

(b)

Interpretation Introduction

Interpretation:

The purification of formed hydrogen by zeolites has to be explained.
