Which of the following on combustion gives maximum energy?
- A Ethane
- B Propane
- C Methane
- D Butane
Answer & Solution
Correct Answer
(D) Butane
Step-by-step Solution
Detailed explanation
Equation for combustion of alkanes is as follows \(\mathrm{C}_{n} \mathrm{H}_{2 n+2}+\left(\frac{3 n+1}{2}\right) \mathrm{O}_{2} \rightarrow n \mathrm{CO}_{2}+(n+1)\)\(\mathrm{H}_{2} \mathrm{O}+Heat\)
Greater the value of \(n\) greater will be the heat produced. Therefore, on combustion butane gives maximum energy.
Greater the value of \(n\) greater will be the heat produced. Therefore, on combustion butane gives maximum energy.
