How much energy will 1 kg mass of wood yield on complete combustion if its calorific value were 18 kJ `g^(-1)`?

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

(i) Definition and formula for calorific value.
(ii) Find the amount of mass of fuel (m) and its calorific value (s).
Converts the calorific value in terms of `J kg^(-1)`
Then, the amount of heat energy (Q) released will be Q=ms
Substitute the value of 'm' and 's' and find the value of Q
18 MJ
