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: c3h8(g)+3h2o(g)→3co(g)+7h2(g) in the second step, carbon monoxide and water react to form hydrogen and carbon dioxide: co(g)+h2o(g)→h2(g)+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 equation is: 6 H2O(g) + C3H8(g) → 10 H2(g) + 3 CO2(g)

Explanation:

First equation:

The reactants propane and water  react to form the products CO and H2

C3H8(g) + 3H2O(g) → 3CO(g) + 7H2(g)

Second equation:

The products CO and H2 will react

CO(g) + H2O(g) → H2(g) + CO2(g)

We should multiply the equation by 3 (to equal the products of the first equation)

3CO(g) + 3H2O(g) → 3H2(g) + 3CO2(g)

Add the second to the first equation:

C3H8(g) + 3 H2O(g) + 3 CO(g) + 3 H2O(g) → 3 H2(g) + 3CO2(g) + 3 CO(g) + 7 H2(g)

The net chemical equation is: 6 H2O(g) + C3H8(g) → 10 H2(g) + 3 CO2(g)

i just learnt this recently but i need to look through my notes again

< > according to newton's third law of motion, forces always act in equal but opposite pairs. another way of saying this is for every action, there is an equal but opposite reaction.< >
