(i) Dihydrogen reduces heated metal oxides to the free metal, itself being oxidised to water (this is why H2 is widely used metallurgically to extract less-reactive metals from their oxides):

H2(g)+MmOo(s)→ΔmM(s)+oH2O(l)H_2(g) + M_mO_o(s) \xrightarrow{\Delta} mM(s) + oH_2O(l)

(e.g., H2+CuO→Cu+H2OH_2 + CuO \rightarrow Cu + H_2O)

(ii) Carbon monoxide reacts with dihydrogen, over a catalyst (typically ZnO–Cr2O3) under heat and pressure, to give methanol — an industrially important synthesis:

CO(g)+2H2(g)→Δ, pressureZnO/Cr2O3CH3OH(g)CO(g) + 2H_2(g) \xrightarrow[\Delta,\ pressure]{ZnO/Cr_2O_3} CH_3OH(g)

(iii) Propane undergoes catalytic steam reforming, reacting with steam over a catalyst on heating to give a mixture of carbon monoxide and dihydrogen (syngas): …
