The values of `DeltaH` for the combustion of ethene and ethyne are `-341.1` and `-310.0` kcal respectively. Which of the following is a better fuelA. `C_(2)H_(2)`B. `C_(2)H_(4)`C. Both of theseD. None of these

Answer» Correct Answer - B
`DeltaH" for "C_(2)H_(4)=-341.1 K cal`
its calorific value = `(-341.1)/(28)=-12.1 kcal//g`.
`DeltaH` for `C_(2)H_(2)` =-310.0 kcal
its Calorific value = `(-310.0)/(26)=-11.92`,
hence `C_(2)H_(2)` is a better fuel.
