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.

Some of my fondest memories of these visits are those of learning to drive a tractor at the helm of Uncle Cecil�s 1948 Farmall Super A. Uncle Cecil was the second owner of this wonderful little tractor, but it was almost as though he had adopted an infant. The original owner was a man from Minnesota who bought her from a local dea
