The heats of formation of `CH_(4)(g),C_(2)H_(6)(g) and C_(4)H_(10)(g)` are `-74.8, -84.7 and -126.1 kJ" "mol^(-1)` respectively. Arrange them in order of their efficiency as fuel per gram. Heats of formation of `CO_(2)(g) and H_(2)O(l)` are `-393.5` and `-285.8`kJ `mol^(-1)` respectively.

Answer» Correct Answer - `CH_(4) gt C_(2)H_(6) gt C_(4)H_(10)`
First determine heat of combustion in each case and then find the calorific value.
