QUESTION:

Compare the heat produced by the complete combustion of 1 mole of methane \(\left(\mathrm{CH}_{4}\right)\) with a mole of water gas (0.50 mole \(H_{2}\) and 0.50 mole CO) under the same conditions. On the basis of your answer, would you prefer methane over water gas as a fuel? Can you suggest two other reasons why methane is preferable to water gas as a fuel?
