The calorific values of wood, bituminous coal, natural gas and charcoal vary in the order:
-
wood > bituminous > natural gas > charcoal
-
wood > bituminous coal > charcoal > natural gas
-
natural gas > charcoal > bituminous coal > wood
-
natural gas> bituminous coal> wood> charcoal
Natural gas $ = 43000 kJ/kg$
Which of the following has the lowest calorific value?
-
$C _2H _6$
-
$C _2H _5OH$
-
$C _2H _4$
-
$H _2$
The calorific value is defined as the amount of heat released during complete combustion of a substance with oxygen under standard condition.
Calorific value gives ___________.
-
fuel efficiency
-
amount of heat
-
amount of light
-
none of the above
Calorific value is a measure of heating capacity of fuel. It gives the fuel efficiency.
Which one of the following has the highest calorific value?
-
Kerosene
-
Biogas
-
LPG
-
Petrol
The calorific value of a fuel is the quantity of heat produced by its combustion - at constant pressure and under a conditions known as " normal " of temperature and pressure (i.e. to 0oC and under a pressure of 1,013 mbar).
The combustion of a fuel product generates water vapor. Certain techniques are used to recover the quantity of heat contained in this water vapor by condensing it.
The Higher Calorific Value (or Gross Calorific Value - GCV) supposes that the water of combustion is entirely condensed and that the heat contained in the water vapor is recovered.
The Lower Calorific Value (or Net Calorific Value - NCV) supposes that the products of combustion contains the water vapor. The heat contained in the water vapor is not recovered.
LPG has a typical specific calorific value of 46.1 MJ/kg.
Calorific value of Bio gas is about 19 to 25 MJ/cubic meter, depending on the methane percentage in the biogas mix.
Heat of combustion of kerosene for lower heating value is 43.1 MJ/kg, and for higher heating value is 46.2 MJ/kg.
Petrol, calorific value of which is 45.8 MJ/kg.
Thus, LPG has highest calorific value among above.
Which of the following compounds has the highest calorific value ?
-
$CH _4$
-
$C _2H _6$
-
$H _2$
-
$C _4H _{10}$
Calorific value is the amount of energy produced by the complete combustion of a molecule. Amongst the given options, $H _{2}$ has the highest calorific value.

-
Say no to single serving packaging, buy in bulk and share with friends instead
-
All of these
Who influences the plastic pollution the most?
-
Public
-
Manufacturer
-
Government
-
All of these
Which are the ways through which each one of us may reduce plastic pollution?
-
Use silverware instead of plactic utensils, keep a set at the office, bring a set on a picnic or to the beach
-
Download your music instead of buying CDs
-
Seek out items that are not made of plastic
-
All of these
An infra-red spectrum shows a broad peak at $3000$ $cm^{-1}$ and a strong peak at $1710$ $cm^{-1}$. Which substance could have produced this spectrum?
-
Methyl propanoate
-
Propan-$2$-ol
-
Propanoic acid
-
Propanone
Multiple Answer question
Instead of using plastics, these/this can be used to avoid pollution :
-
Jute bags
-
Paper bags
-
Cloth bags
-
Poly bags
Jute bags, Paper bags, and cloth bags are all biodegradable substances and decay overtime but poly bags degrade in hundreds of years and causes pollution. Thus, they can be used in place of plastic bags.
