Answer Details

Water gas is a mixture of carbon monoxide (CO) and hydrogen gas (H₂). It is produced by reacting steam with hot coal or coke in a process known as gasification. The resulting gas mixture is composed of about 50% CO and 50% H₂. Water gas has been used historically as a fuel for heating and lighting, and it is still used today in some industrial processes.
