Question

Producer gas is not a good fuel because:

• A. it contains $CO$ which is poisonous
• B. it contains $C{O}_2$
• C. it contains $C{O}_2$ which does not burn
• D. it contains $N_2$ which does not burn

Answer 1

Answer: (D)

it contains $N_2$ which does not burn

The producer gas is a mixture of nitrogen and carbon monoxide. Two thirds by volume is nitrogen and one third by volume is carbon monoxide. Carbon monoxide is combustible gas in the mixture. Nitrogen is non-combustible. producer gas is not considered as good fuel because it contains Nitrogen which does not burn.
