Which of the following mixtures is water gas?
Options
- ACO _ 2(g) + H _ 2(g)
- BCO _ (g) + H _ 2(g)
- CCO _ 2(g) + N _ 2(g)
- DSO _ 2(g) + N _ 2(g)
Correct answer
B. CO _ (g) + H _ 2(g)
Step-by-step solution
Water gas is a mixture of carbon monoxide and hydrogen gas. It is prepared by passing steam over red-hot coke at high temperatures. C _ (s) + H ₂ O _ (g) CO _ (g) + H _ 2(g) Therefore, the mixture CO _ (g) + H _ 2(g) is known as water gas. Answer: CO _ (g) + H _ 2(g)
