Question

What is water gas? How it is prepared from carbon?​

Answer 1

Answer:

Water gas is a combustion fuel containing carbon monoxide (CO) and hydrogen gas (H2). Water gas is made by passing steam over heated hydrocarbons. The reaction between steam and hydrocarbons produces synthesis gas.

BY COKE AND STEAM PROCESS: When super heated is passed over red hot coke, a mixture of carbon monoxide and hydrogen is obtained which is known as water gas. BY THE ELECTROLYSIS OF WATER: When pure water containing a little amount of H2SO4 or any ionic salt is electrolyzed, pure hydrogen is obtained
