Answer:
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)
