Water gas obtained from the gasification of coke is made up of 
Answer Details

The gasification of coke to produce water gas involves reacting coke, which is primarily composed of carbon, with steam. The main chemical reaction that occurs is:


C (s) + H2O (g) → CO (g) + H2 (g)


From this reaction, the main constituents of water gas are hydrogen (H2) and carbon monoxide (CO), also known as carbon(II) oxide. Therefore, water gas obtained from the gasification of coke is made up of hydrogen and carbon(II) oxide.
