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 + CO2 + H2 (1 : 1 : 1) In the light of the above statements, choose the most appropriate answer from the options given below :

1. Statement-I is false but Statement-II is true
2. Statement-I is true but Statement-II is false
3. Both Statement-I and Statement-II are false
4. Both Statement-I and Statement-II are true

Correct answer: Both Statement-I and Statement-II are true

Solution

Gasification of coal is indeed the process used to produce syngas, which primarily consists of carbon monoxide (CO) and hydrogen (H2), along with some carbon dioxide (CO2). However, the specific composition of syngas can vary, and while it often contains CO, H2, and CO2, the ratio of these gases is not fixed at 1:1:1, making Statement-II misleading.
