Question 12(f)

Water gas is a mixture of

  1. carbon monoxide and oxygen
  2. carbon monoxide and hydrogen
  3. hydrogen and oxygen
  4. hydrogen and nitrogen
Answer

carbon monoxide and hydrogen

Reason — Water gas is a mixture of carbon monoxide and hydrogen which is produced by passing steam over hot coke at 1000°C.

     C+H2O→1000°C(CO+H2)−Heat\text{C}+ \text{H}_2 \text{O} \xrightarrow {1000\degree \text{C}} \text({CO + H}_2) - \text{Heat}
