What happens when steam is passed through red hot coke? Ans: When steam is passed through red hot coke, carbon monoxide and hydrogen gases are obtained. CO is also a fuel. In the steel mill coke ovens heated coal to make coke. CO was called coke oven gas and burned in the steel mill's power plant. The second half of the reaction, CO can also combine with more steam forming CO2 and H2.
From a chemistry stand point hot coke, C, plus steam H2O forms CO plus H2 the second half of the equation. CO plus steam H20 forms CO2 plus another H2 Chemists think of this as a two set reaction.
Ask a chemist if water and hot carbon can't be converted into 2H2 and CO2.
I'm going to take my dad's word that adding steam to hot coal really works.
You can believe what you want.
Water can be converted into Hydrogen.
I seriously doubt you can google any information about 80 year old steam engines and adding steam to fire boxes.
My dad passed 35 years ago.
Doubt if there are any Fireman still alive. It wasn't long after I was born, steam engines were replaced by diesel engines. I still remember seeing steam engines pulling grain cars to Chicago.
