- Hydrogen has the highest energy-to-weight ratio of all fuels.
-
Only 1
-
Only 2
-
Both of these
-
Neither of these
C
Correct answer
Explanation
Statement 1 is correct: The National Hydrogen Energy Road Map was prepared by the Steering Group on Hydrogen Energy, set up in 2004, under the Chairmanship of Shri Ratan N. Tata.
Statement 2 is correct: Hydrogen is the lightest element occurring in nature and contains a large amount of energy in its chemical bond. Because of its low density, liquid hydrogen weighs less than petroleum-based fuels. The density of gaseous hydrogen is 0.0899 grams per liter (g/l). (Air is 1.4 times as dense.) Liquid hydrogen boils at -252.77 degrees Celsius, and it has a density of 70.99 g/l. With these properties, hydrogen has the highest energy-to-weight ratio of all fuels.
