Question

What does synthesis gas (water gas) consist of? ...​

Answer 1

The chemical composition of syngas varies based on the raw materials and the processes. Syngas produced by coal gasification generally is a mixture of 30 to 60% carbon monoxide, 25 to 30% hydrogen, 5 to 15% carbon dioxide, and 0 to 5% methane. It also contains lesser amount of other gases.

Answer 2

Answer:Production of synthesis gas. Synthesis gas or syngas is called carbon monoxide (CO)-hydrogen (H2)-containing gas mixture. Carbon dioxide (CO2) and other components such as water (H2O) may also be present in syngas.
