  1. The major constituent of gobar gas is
    1. Carbon dioxide
    2. Methane
    3. Butane
    4. Isobutane
Correct Option: B

Gobar Gas (Methane) is generated by the decomposition of organic cow dung. It consists of 5565% methane, 30-35% carbon dioxide, with some hydrogen, nitrogen and other traces. The composition of biogas varies depending upon the origin of the anaerobic digestion process. Landfill gas typically has methane concentrations around 50%. Advanced waste treatment technologies can produce biogas with 55– 75% methane, which for reactors with free liquids can be increased to 80-90% methane using in-situ gas purification techniques. As-produced, biogas also contains water vapor. The fractional volume of water vapor is a function of biogas temperature; correction of measured gas volume for both water vapor content and thermal expansion is easily done via a simple mathematic algorithm which yields the standardized volume of dry biogas.
