Questions Related to calorific value

Multiple choice chemistry occurrence of carbon compounds in nature calorific value study of enthalpy chemical thermodynamics

Gross & net calorific value is the same for ___________.

  1. blast furnace gas

  2. coke oven gas

  3. L.D. converter gas

  4. none of these
Reveal answer Fill a bubble to check yourself
C Correct answer
Explanation

Gross & net calorific value is the same for L.D converter gas. Calorific value is the total quantity of heat liberated by the complete combustion of a unit mass of the fuel in air or oxygen. It is expressed in $kcal/m^3$ or British thermal unit (B.T.U) per cubic foot.

Which among the following is the best fuel?

  1. Wood with calorific value 4000 Cal/g

  2. Coke with calorific value 8000 Cal/g

  3. Coal with calorific value 7000 Cal/g

  4. Kerosene with calorific value 11,200 Cal/g
Reveal answer Fill a bubble to check yourself
D Correct answer
Explanation

Higher the heating value or higher the calorific value better the fuel is, so kerosene has a higher heating value which is measured by bomb calorimeter.

The heat produced by burning 1 g of fuel completely is known as _____________.

  1. heat capacity

  2. calorific value

  3. vapour density

  4. boiling point
Reveal answer Fill a bubble to check yourself
B Correct answer
Explanation

 Calorific value is the quantity of heat produced by the complete combustion of a given mass of a fuel, usually expressed in joules per kilogram. It can be defined as the amount of heat energy produced on complete combustion of 1 Kg of fuel.


Hence, the correct option is $\text{B}$

A family consumes 12 kg of LPG in 30 days. Calculate the average energy consumed per day if the calorific value of LPG is 50 kJ/kg.

  1. 10,000 J/day

  2. 15,000 J/day

  3. 20,000 J/day

  4. 25,000 J/day
Reveal answer Fill a bubble to check yourself
C Correct answer
Explanation

Energy released by 12 kg of LPG =  12 %$\times$ 50 kJ $= $ 600 kJ
$\therefore$ energy consumed per day
$\displaystyle \frac {600\,kJ}{30}\, =\, 20,000$ Joules/day.

The calorific values of wood, bituminous coal, natural gas and charcoal vary in the order:

  1. wood > bituminous > natural gas > charcoal

  2. wood > bituminous coal > charcoal > natural gas

  3. natural gas > charcoal > bituminous coal > wood

  4. natural gas> bituminous coal> wood> charcoal
Reveal answer Fill a bubble to check yourself
C Correct answer
Explanation

Natural gas         $ = 43000 kJ/kg$

Charcoal             $ = 29600 kJ/kg$
Bituminous coal $ = 23250 kJ/kg$
Wood                   $  =  17400 kJ/kg$
