Heat of combustion of `CH_(4),C_(2)H_(6), C_(2)H_(4)` and `C_(2)H_(2)` gases are -212.8, -212.8, -373.0, -337.0 and -310.5 Kcal respectively at the same temperature. The best fuel among these gases is :
A. `CH_(4)`
B. `C_(2)H_(6)`
C. `C_(2)H_(4)`
D. `C_(2)H_(2)`
A. `CH_(4)`
B. `C_(2)H_(6)`
C. `C_(2)H_(4)`
D. `C_(2)H_(2)`
Correct Answer – A
Higher the calorific value, better is the fuel.
Calorific value `=(Delta H_(“Comb.”))/(“Molecular weight”)`
