Question

What are the main ingredients of the following :

(i) Coal gas

(ii) Producer gas

(iii) Water Gas

(iv) Carbongene

Accepted Answer

(i) Coal gas: It is a gaseous mixture of —mainly hydrogen, methane, and carbon monoxide—formed by the destructive distillation (i.e., heating in the absence of air) of bituminous coal and used as a fuel.

(ii) Producer gas, a mixture of flammable gases (principally carbon monoxide and hydrogen), and nonflammable gases (mainly nitrogen and carbon dioxide) made by the partial combustion of carbonaceous substances, usually coal, in an atmosphere of air and steam.

(iii) The major composition of water gas is formed by hydrogen gas and carbon monoxide gas. Rest gases like methane, nitrogen, and carbon dioxide are the minor components of water gas.

Hydrogen - Forms around $50 %$ part of the water gas.

Carbon monoxide $(CO)$ - Forms around $45 %$ part of the water gas.

(iv) Carbogene: It is a mixture of carbon dioxide and oxygen, it is used to stimulate breathing in the treatment of respiratory disease
