Propane can be turned into hydrogen by the two-step reforming process. in the first step, propane and water react to form carbon monoxide and hydrogen: c3hg(g)+3 3 co(g)+7 h2(g) in the second step, carbon monoxide and water react to form hydrogen and carbon dioxide: co(g)+h20(g)h2(9)+co2(g) write the net chemical equation for the production of hydrogen from propane and water. be sure your equation is balanced.

The net chemical reaction:

Explanation:

Step  1 : Propane reacts with water to form carbon monoxide and hydrogen gas

...[1]

Step 2 : carbon monoxide formed in above step reacts with water tio form hydrogen gas and carbon dioxide.

...[2]

On Adding [1] and 3 × [2] we get overall balanced chemical reaction for the production of hydrogen from propane and water:

1 mole of propane reacts with 6 moles of water vapor to gve 10 moles of hydrogen gas and 3 moles of carbon dioxide.
