Question 4 / 5

AQA Jun 2015 Paper 2 Q4 do not write outside the box a hydrogen is produced in industry from methane and steam in a two stage process in the first stage carbon monoxide and hydrogen are formed the equation for this reaction is ch g h o g co g h g h kj mol a i use le chatelier s principle to state whether a high or low temperature should be used to obtain the highest possible equilibrium yield of hydrogen from this first stage explain your answer marks temperature explanation a ii le chatelier s principle suggests that a high pressure will produce a low yield of hydrogen in this first stage explain in terms of the behaviour of particles why a high operating pressure is used in industry marks wmp jun chem a iii a nickel catalyst is used in the first stage do not write outside the box explain why the catalyst is more effective when coated onto an unreactive honeycomb marks b the second stage is carried out in a separate reactor carbon monoxide is converted into carbon dioxide and more hydrogen is formed the equation for this reaction is co g h o g co g h g h kj mol use le chatelier s principle to state the effect if any of a decrease in the total pressure on the yield of hydrogen in this second stage explain your answer marks effect explanation turn over for the next question turn over wmp jun chem
