Q29 / 180 · KCET 2023 · Chemistry

The composition of water gas is

  • A
    $\mathrm{CO}(g)+\mathrm{N}_2(g)$
  • B
    $\mathrm{CH}_4(g)$
  • C
    $\mathrm{CO}(g)+\mathrm{H}_2 \mathrm{O}(g)$
  • Correct answer
    D
    $\mathrm{CO}(g)+\mathrm{H}_2(g)$

Solution

Water gas is primarily composed of carbon monoxide and hydrogen gas i.e. $\mathrm{CO}(g)+\mathrm{H}_2(g)$. It is a valuable industrial feedstock and used in production of chemicals, fuels and as a reducing agent in metallurgical applications.

Hence, the correct answer is option: 'D'.
