types of pure substances pure substance and mixtures difference between mixtures and compounds pure substances and mixtures: separation of mixtures chemistry

  1. Ntural gas

  2. Water gas

  3. Laughing gas

  4. Coal gas

Show answer
Correct Option: C
Explanation:

Pure gas is not a mixture.


Natural gas consists of a mixture of gases like methane, higher alkanes, carbon dioxide etc. So it is not a pure gas.

Similarly, water gas is a mixture of $CO, H _2S$
Coal gas is a mixture of $H _2,CH _4,CO$
But laughing gas is only $N _2O$, So it is pure gas.


Hence, the correct option is $C$
