In context with the industrial preparation of hydrogen from water gas \( \left(\mathrm{CO}+\mathrm{H}_{2}\right) \), which of the following is the correct statement?
ChemistryHydrogenJEE Main
Options:
  • A \( \mathrm{CO} \) is oxidised to \( \mathrm{CO}_{2} \) with steam, in the presence of a catalyst followed by the dissolution of \( \mathrm{CO}_{2} \) in water under
    ssure.
  • B \( \mathrm{CO} \) and \( \mathrm{H}_{2} \) are fractionally separated using the differences in their densities.
  • C \( \mathrm{CO} \) is removed by absorption in aqueous \( \mathrm{Cu}_{2} \mathrm{Cl}_{2} \) solution.
  • D \( \mathrm{H}_{2} \) is removed through occlusion with \( \mathrm{Pd} \).

The correct answer is: \( \mathrm{CO} \) is oxidised to \( \mathrm{CO}_{2} \) with steam, in the presence of a catalyst followed by the dissolution of \( \mathrm{CO}_{2} \) in water under
ssure.

CO is oxidised to CO2 with steam in the presence of a catalyst, followed by the dissolution of CO2 in water under pressure.

CO+H2water gas+H2OsteamcatlaystCO2+2H2

And,

CO & H2 are not fractionally separated by using the differences in their densities. Carbon monoxide is separated from hydrogen gas by passing it through water at a pressure of 30 atmospheres due to which carbon monoxide is absorbed in water unlike hydrogen gas

CO is not removed by absorption in aqueous Cu2Cl2 solution.

H2 is not removed through occlusion with Pd
