Question
A scientist was trapped in an unknown land with lots of coal deposits. After wandering for two days, he came across a vehicle which can be operated using an internal combustion engine. But he had no supply of diesel or petrol. So he decided to make a type of gas - "Producer gas", which can be used as a viable alternative for fuel. The gas can be obtained by passing air over red hot coke in a closed environment. Can you tell the constituents of the "Producer gas"?

Solution
The correct option is D Carbon monoxide & Nitrogen
When air is passed over red hot coke, incomplete combustion takes place resulting in the formation of CO (carbon monoxide) and the mixture of carbon monoxide and nitrogen (a major component of air) is called as 'Producer gas'.
