Which of the following can be considered as an ideal fuel?

  1. Kerosene

  2. Petrol

  3. Biogas

  4. Wood
Reveal answer Fill a bubble to check yourself
C Correct answer
Explanation

Biogas can be considered as an ideal gas because it has an appropriate calorific value, easily processed from cow dung and other waste materials. It is environment friendly and burns smoothly without any residues. It contains negligible non-volatile materials.

What is calorific value?

  1. Amount of heat energy produced on complete combustion of 1 Kg of fuel.

  2. Amount of heat energy produced on complete combustion of 100 Kg of fuel.

  3. Amount of heat energy produced on complete combustion of 1 g of fuel.

  4. Amount of heat energy lost on complete combustion of 1 Kg of fuel.
Reveal answer Fill a bubble to check yourself
A 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 $A$.

_______ is a fuel made by compressing natural gas.

  1. LPG

  2. CNG

  3. Both a and b

  4. None of above
Reveal answer Fill a bubble to check yourself
B Correct answer
Explanation

Compressed natural gas (CNG) (methane stored at high pressure) can be used in place of gasoline (petrol), Diesel fuel and propane/LPG. CNG is made by compressing natural gas (which is mainly composed of methane, CH4), to less than 1 percent of the volume it occupies at standard atmospheric pressure.

Greater the _____ value, better is the fuel.

  1. gold

  2. iodine

  3. calorific

  4. decane
Reveal answer Fill a bubble to check yourself
C Correct answer
Explanation

Calorific value means the energy contained in a fuel or food, determined by measuring the heat produced by complete combustion of specific quantity, expressed as $J/kg$. 

Greater the calorific value, better is the fuel.

Heats of combustion of $CH _4, C _2H _4, C _2H _6 $ are -890, -1411 and -1560 KJ/mole respectively. Which has the lowest fuel value in KJ/g?

  1. $CH _4$
  2. $C _2H _4$
  3. $C _2H _6$

  4. All same
Reveal answer Fill a bubble to check yourself
B Correct answer
Explanation
Fuel value $CH _4=\cfrac{890}{16}$ KJ/g=555.625 KJ/g

Fuel value $C _2H _4=\cfrac{1411}{28}$ KJ/g=50.4 KJ/g

Fuel value $C _2H _6=\cfrac{1560}{30}$ KJ/g=52KJ/mole

$\therefore $ Hence lowest fuel value for $C _2H _4$
