Correct:
B
Explanation
The correct answer is Option 2 (A-2, B-4, C-3, D-1). This matching accurately reflects the chemical compositions of industrial and natural fuel gases:
- A. Water gas (2): Produced by passing steam over red-hot coke, it is a mixture of Carbon Monoxide (CO) and Hydrogen (H2). It has high calorific value.
- B. Producer gas (4): Formed by passing air over hot coke, it primarily consists of Carbon Monoxide (CO) and Nitrogen (N2). It is cheaper but has lower heating value due to nitrogen dilution.
- C. Coal gas (3): A byproduct of the destructive distillation of coal, its complex mixture includes Hydrogen (H2), Methane (CH4), and Carbon Monoxide (CO).
- D. Gobar gas (1): Also known as Biogas, it is produced by the anaerobic decomposition of organic matter; its primary combustible component is Methane (CH4).
Options 1, 3, and 4 are incorrect as they mismatch these fundamental chemical identities, particularly confusing the nitrogen-rich Producer gas with the hydrogen-rich Water gas.
