Water gas is produced from synthesis gas, which is composed of carbon monoxide and hydrogen. Syngas is a useful product, but requires careful handling due to its flammability and the risk of carbon monoxide poisoning. The water-gas shift reaction can be used to reduce the carbon monoxide while producing additional hydrogen, resulting in water gas.H2O + C → H2 + CO (ΔH = +131 kJ/mol)
Hope this answer is helpful to u
A fuel gas containing about 5o percent carbon monoxide 40 percent hydrogen and small amount of methane, carbon dioxide and nitrogen made by passing stem and air over heated coke and coal is known as water gas.its composition is (CO+H2).it is used as fuel.
