Water gas is a 1:1 mixture of carbon monoxide and hydrogen gas and is called water gas because it is formed from steam and hot carbon in the following reaction: H,0 (g)+C(s) =H,(g)+ CO(g), Methanol, a liquid fuel that could possibly replace gasoline, can be prepared from water gas and hydrogen at high temperature and pressure in the presence of a suitable catalyst. What will happen to the concentrations of H2, CO, and CH,OH at equilibrium if more catalyst is added? A Depends on the catalyst (B) Double Nothing Catalyst will be contaminated

Water gas is a 1:1 mixture of carbon monoxide and hydrogen gas and is called water gas because it is formed from steam and hot
carbon in the following reaction: H,0 (g) +C(s) =H,(g)+CO(g). Methanol, a liquid fuel that could possibly replace gasoline,
can be prepared from water gas and hydrogen at high temperature and pressure in the presence of a suitable catalyst. What will
happen to the concentrations of H,, CO, and CH,OH at equilibrium if more catalyst is added?
(A Depends on the catalyst
B Double
Nothing
D) Catalyst will be contaminated
