The correct Answer is:
**Step-by-Step Solution:** 1. **Understanding the Components**: The question asks about a mixture of carbon monoxide (CO) and hydrogen (H₂). It is essential to identify what this mixture is commonly known as in chemistry. 2. **Identifying the Mixture**: The mixture of CO and H₂ is commonly referred to in industrial chemistry. It is produced through specific reactions involving carbon sources and steam. 3. **Common Names**: This mixture is known by several names, including: - Water gas - Producer gas - Synthesis gas 4. **Production Process**: Water gas is produced by passing steam over red-hot carbon (coke). The reaction is endothermic and results in the formation of carbon monoxide and hydrogen gas. 5. **Properties of Water Gas**: Water gas has a lower calorific value than coal gas and is sometimes referred to as blue gas due to its combustion characteristics. 6. **Uses of Water Gas**: It is widely used in industries for: - The preparation of various organic compounds - As an industrial fuel - The synthesis of ammonia 7. **Conclusion**: Therefore, the correct answer to the question is that the mixture of CO and H₂ is known as **water gas** or **synthesis gas**. **Final Answer**: The mixture of CO and H₂ is known as **water gas** or **synthesis gas**. ---
