Q61 / 270 · NDA 2015 (Phase 2) · General Ability
Consider the following reaction:
$\mathrm{CH}_4(\mathrm{~g})+\mathrm{H}_2 \mathrm{O}(\mathrm{g}) \xrightarrow{~1270 \mathrm{~K}} \mathrm{CO}(\mathrm{g})+3 \mathrm{H}_2(\mathrm{~g})$
In the reaction given above, the mixture of CO and $\mathrm{H}_2$ is:
- Anatural gas
- Correct answerBwater gas
- Cproducer gas
- Dindustrial gas
Solution
Water gas is a fuel gas consisting mainly of carbon monoxide and hydrogen, made by passing steam over incandescent coke.
Hence, the correct answer is option: 'B'.
