Heat of combustion of `CH_(4),C_(2)H_(4),C_(2)H_(6)` are `-890,-1411` and `-1560 kJ //mol` respectively. Which has the lowest calorific fuel value ?

A

`CH_(4)`

B

`C_(2)H_(4)`

C

`C_(2)H_(6)`

D

Same for all

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:

B

Calorific value `=` heat of combustion per `g` of fuel`,i.e., ` for `C_(2)H_(4),` it is `(-1411)/(28)` , the lowest value.
