This is a much better version compared to the first submission. There are a few questions
below along with many typos and corrections still needed in the text. Lines are noted
based on 1-60 numbering in LH margin.

Page 3 – line 27-29 – delete “numerous amount of”

Line 36 – change brake to break

Line 37 – change It to This

Line 50 – change advance to advanced and insert “a” between using and membrane

Page 4 – line 27 – change electrodes to singular electrode

Line 36 – change elongate to elongates

Page 5 – first line – change proves the reaction 1 to proves reaction 1

Line 11 – change report’s to report

Line 29 – change to “the effects of different carrier gases on”

Line 32 – change know to assess

Page 7 and elsewhere – Figures should follow the sentence wherein they are first
introduced. Also on page 7 the % change in CO2 is only 1.5%. Is this statistically
significant?

Page 7, line 55 – change literatures to literature.

Page 8, line 26 – change electron to electrons

Page 9, line 6 – change “control way of reaction” to “control the direction of the
reaction.”

Lines 48-50 – delete other and make product plural.

Page 10, figure 8 should be after first sentence or so.

Line 25 – change exited to excited – this also occurs in several other places.

Line 32 – correct Haug etl al.

Line 34 – Moreover
Line 37 – Clarify “it affects on a greater collision probability”

Line 41 – in “the” CO2 case.

Line 50-53 – change to O2 is much more difficult to break than CO2

Line 60 – excited

Last line – end with colon or period.

Page 11 – line 11 – excited

Line 16 and 18 add “the” before O2 and before N2

Line 18 – replace “can be” to “is assumed”

Line 27 - add “a” between in and high

Line 29 – change amounts to amount

Line 32 – change molecule to molecules and gives to give.

Line 53 – add colon to end of sentence.

Page 12 – line 11 – change to “In the case of N2, the existence of N in any …:

Line 27 – change The experiment … to An experiment…

Line 36 – delete “water”

Line 43 – start sentence with Across the range of water content,

End of page 12 – are the %’s given (35 and 29) statistically different?

Page 13 – first line – change system, the effect of water is the same with ….

Line 11 – H2O being converted…

Line 16 – change not detected well to difficult to detect

Line 20 – change to 6% in the range of the experiment

Line 43 – change to reverse reaction of C and CO …

Line 46 – change reaches 35% at an N2 concentration

Line 46-48 to read injection conversion (15-18%).

Figure 6 and 7 – in note one, need to indicate that rates are in brackets. What is note 2?

Figure 9 – period at end of caption

Figure 11 – define beta.
