Given below are two statements : Statement-I : The process of producing syn-gas is called gasification of coal. Statement-II : The composition of syn-gas is $\mathrm{CO}+\mathrm{CO}_{2}+\mathrm{H}_{2}(1: 1: 1)$ In the light of the above statements, choose the most appropriate answer from the options given below:

(A) Statement-I is true but Statement-II is false

(B) Both Statement-I and Statement-II are true

Given below are two statements :
Statement-I : The process of producing syn-gas is called gasification of coal.
Statement-II : The composition of syn-gas is

CO + CO_{2} + H_{2} (1 : 1 : 1)

In the light of the above statements, choose the most appropriate answer from the options given below:

(A)Statement-I is true but Statement-II is false✓ Correct
(B)Both Statement-I and Statement-II are true
(C)Statement-I is false but Statement-II is true
(D)Both Statement-I and Statement-II are false

Answer: (A)

Solution

Passing steam over red-hot coke to produce a mixture of carbon monoxide and hydrogen is the gasification of coal, so Statement I is correct. The synthesis gas so formed is a mixture of carbon monoxide and hydrogen, not of carbon monoxide, carbon dioxide and hydrogen in a

1 : 1 : 1

ratio, so Statement II is wrong. Statement I is true but Statement II is false.
