The composition of water gas is
Options
- ACO (g)+ N ₂(g)
- BCH ₄(g)
- CCO (g)+ H ₂ O (g)
- DCO (g)+ H ₂(g)
Correct answer
D. CO (g)+ H ₂(g)
Step-by-step solution
Water gas is primarily composed of carbon monoxide and hydrogen gas i.e. CO (g)+ H ₂(g) . It is a valuable industrial feedstock and used in production of chemicals, fuels and as a reducing agent in metallurgical applications.
