The correct Answer is:
**Step-by-Step Solution:** 1. **Understanding Power Alcohol:** - Power alcohol is defined as a mixture of absolute alcohol (ethanol) and petrol (gasoline). - The typical composition is about 20% absolute alcohol and 80% petrol. 2. **Identifying Uses of Power Alcohol:** - Power alcohol is primarily used as a fuel in internal combustion engines. - It is added to petrol to enhance energy production during combustion. 3. **Combustion Properties:** - Ethanol, being a carbon-containing compound, undergoes combustion, releasing energy. - The addition of alcohol helps in improving the efficiency of fuel combustion. 4. **Anti-Knocking Properties:** - Power alcohol has anti-knocking properties, which means it helps prevent premature ignition and detonation in engines. - This property is crucial for the smooth operation of internal combustion engines, preventing metallic sounds caused by knocking. 5. **Evaluating Options:** - Option A: Electricity production - Incorrect, as power alcohol is not primarily used for this purpose. - Option B: Solvent in medicine - Incorrect, power alcohol is not typically used as a solvent in medicine. - Option C: Energy production - Correct, as power alcohol is used to enhance energy production in vehicles. - Option D: All of the above - Incorrect, since not all options are valid. 6. **Conclusion:** - The correct answer is C: Energy production, as power alcohol is primarily used as a fuel to increase energy output in automobiles. ---
