Answer 1

Answer:

1. Producer Gas

2. Ethyl Mercaptan

Explanation:

1. Water gas is a synthesis gas, containing carbon monoxide and hydrogen. It is a useful product but requires careful handling due to its flammability and the risk of carbon monoxide poisoning.

Producer gas: a gas composed of carbon monoxide, hydrogen, and nitrogen, obtained by passing air and steam through incandescent coke.

2. LPG gas is basically propane and butane, and it is odorless in its natural state. The smell that you notice when there is a leak is actually the stench of an entirely different agent, called Ethyl Mercaptan (C2H6S). This substance is added to the gas when it leaves the main storage terminals.
