    The values of \[\Delta H\] for the combustion of ethene and ethyne are ? 341.1 and ? 310.0kcal respectively. Which of the following is a better fuel  [BHU 2001]

    A)                 \[{{C}_{2}}{{H}_{2}}\]    

    B)                 \[{{C}_{2}}{{H}_{4}}\]

    C)                 Both of these   

    D)                 None of these

    Correct Answer: A

    Solution :

           \[\Delta H\]for \[{{C}_{2}}{{H}_{6}}=-341.1\,K\,cal\]            its calorific value \[=\frac{-341.1}{30}=-11.37\,kcal/g\].            \[\Delta H\]for \[{{C}_{2}}{{H}_{2}}=-310.0\,kcal\]            its Calorific value \[=\frac{-310.0\,}{26}=-11.92,\]                                 hence \[{{C}_{2}}{{H}_{2}}\]is a better fuel.
