Concept explainers
(a)
Interpretation:
The standard heat of the water-gas shift reaction given by the equation should be calculated.
Concept introduction:
WSGR is abbreviated as water-gas shift reaction. When carbon-di-oxide and water reacts, it forms carbon-dioxide and hydrogen which is called watergas formed as a product. This has become a very common industrial reaction used in the manufacturing process of ammonia, hydrocarbons, methanol and hydrogen.
In Hess’s law, enthalpy change which involved in the chemical reactions are same, it doesn’t matter the steps involved in the reactions.
(b)
Interpretation:
The standard heat of the water-gas shift reaction should be calculated.
Concept introduction:
In Hess’s law, enthalpy change which involved in the chemical reactions are same, it doesn’t matter the steps involved in the reactions. This reaction seems to be an endothermic reaction.
