In an experiment, 4.5 kg of a fuel was completely burnt. The heat produced was measured to be 1,80,000 kJ. Calculate the calorific value of the fuel.

Academic Chemistry NCERT Class 8

Calorific value of a fuel = Heat Produced/Amount of fuel

= 180000 / 4.5 kJ/kg

= 40,000 kJ/kg.

About 60 kg of fuel was completely burnt for an experiment. The amount of heat energy was found to be 1,80,000 kJ. Calculate the calorific value of the fuel.
The total amount of heat produced by a fuel having a calorific value of 20kJ/kg was found to be 50,000 joules. How much fuel was burnt?
(a) Define the calorific value of a fuel.(b) “The calorific value of LPG is 55000 KJ/kg”. What does it mean?
The calorific value of a fuel is 40000KJ/kg. This fuel is most likely to be:biogasmethanehydrogen gasliquefied petroleum gas
Define calorific value of a fuel.
What is a fuel?Define calorific value of a fuel.Give the characteristics of a good fuel.
Name the unit in which the calorific value of a fuel is expressed.
What is the amount of heat when calorific value is 150000 and amount of fuel is 5
Calorific value and ignition temperature of fuel X are 75 kJ/g and 20°C respectively. These values for fuel Y are 50 kJ/g and 75°C respectively. On burning, the fuel Y produces only CO2 while fuel X produces CO2 and CO. Which of the two is a better fuel? Give two reasons to support your answer.
Fill in the following blank with a suitable word:The amount of heat produced by burning a unit mass of a fuel completely is known as its __________ value.
(a) What is a fuel? Give five examples of fuels.(b) What are the characteristics of an ideal fuel (or good fuel)? (c) The calorific value and ignition temperature of fuel A are 55 kJ/g and 80°C, respectively. These values for fuel B are 80 kJ/g and 10°C, respectively. On burning, the fuel A produces CO2 and H2O while the fuel B produces CO2, CO, and SO2. Give three points of relative advantages and disadvantages of these two fuels.
The calorific values of petrol and CNG are 45000 kJ/kg and 50000 kJ/kg respectively. If you have vehicle which can run on petrol as well as CNG, which fuel will you prefer and why?
While cooking, if the bottom of the vessel is getting blackened on the outside, it means that(a) food is not cooked completely (b) the fuel is not burning completely(c) fuel is wet(d) fuel is burning completely.
Hydrogen has the highest calorific value, but it is not used as a fuel. Why?
Fill in the blanks with suitable words:(a) A fuel must be heated to its……… before it starts burning.(b) The most common supporter of combustion around us is……………..(c) Fire produced by burning oil cannot be controlled by…………………….(d) A liquid fuel used in homes is………(e) The amount of heat evolved when 1kg of a fuel is burnt completely is called its…………………..(f) The substance which vaporize during, give…………………..(g) Burning of wood and coal causes……………. of air.
