10 g of a fuel is combusted in the internal chamber of a bomb calorimeter because of which the temperature of 250 g of the water present in external chamber increases from 25^(@)C" to "75^(@)C . Write the following steps in a sequential order to find the value of calorific value of the fuel. (Assume that the heat produced by the combustion of fuel is completely absobed by the water). (a) Equate m_(F)S=m_(u)S_(w)(Delta t) and find the value of S. (b) Note the value of mass of fuel (m_(F)) and water (m_(w)) in bomb calorimeter from the given data. (c) Consider the change in the temperature (Delta t) of the water to find the heat absorbed by water using, Q=m_(u)S_(w)(Delta t) . (d) Let 'S' be the calorific value of the fuel and heat produced by the combustion of the fuel is given by Q=m_(f)S.

Incomplete combustion of fuel such as petrol and diesel gives

For an internal combustion engine to move a vehicle down the road ,it must convert the energy stored in the fuel into mechanical energy to drive the wheels. In your car, the distributor and battery provide this starting energy by creating an electrical "spark", which helps in combustion of fuels like gasoline. Below is the reaction depicting complete combustion of gasoline in full supply of air: 2C_8 H_(18)(l) +25 O_(2) (g) to 16 'x' Identify the types of chemical reaction occurring during the combustion of fuel

Statement-1: One of the source of carbon monoxide production is automobile exhaust and Statement-2: CO is produced as a result of incomplete combustion of fuel in automobile engines.
