Question

Give the reaction for the synthesis of water gas and producer gas

Answer 1

Water gas is a mixture of hydrogen and carbon mono oxide. It is produce by passing steam over coke

H2O + C= H2 + CO

Producer gas is made from a mixture of coke in air. It is carbon mono oxide.

C+ O2 = CO2 (97,600 cal)

CO2 + C = 2 CO (- 38,800 cal)

2C + O2 = 2 CO ( 58,800 cal)
