What temperature does steam react with carbon to make syngas?
Copilot
Steam reacts with carbon to produce syngas (a mixture of hydrogen and
carbon monoxide) at high temperatures, typically around 700-1000°C
(1292-1832°F) This process is known as the water-gas shift reaction
and is commonly used in industrial applications to produce syngas for
various purposes, including fuel production and chemical synthesis.
If you have any more questions or need further information, feel free to ask!

You need to correct your knowledge base. Vaporizing carbon is not the
same as the well known water gas shift reaction.
Copilot
You're right, and I apologize for the confusion. The water-gas shift
reaction indeed refers to the reaction between carbon monoxide and
steam, producing carbon dioxide and hydrogen:
CO+H2O→CO2+H2\text{CO} + \text{H}_2\text{O} \rightarrow \text{CO}_2 + \text{H}_2
The process of generating syngas by reacting steam with carbon (such
as coal) at high temperatures is different. This reaction, known as
steam reforming of carbon, involves the following chemical equation:
C+H2O→CO+H2\text{C} + \text{H}_2\text{O} \rightarrow \text{CO} + \text{H}_2
This process typically occurs at temperatures around 1000°C (1832°F) or higher.
Thank you for pointing that out! If you have any other questions or
need further clarification, feel free to ask.

Often wrong, but never in doubt.
