Which is a good fuel `CH_(4)` or `C_(2)H_(6)` ? The standard enthalpy of formation of`CH_(4),C_(2)H_(6),CO_(2)` and `H_(2)O` are -74.8, -84.6, -393.5 and -286kJ `mol^(-1)` respectively .

Answer» Correct Answer - `CH_(4)`
Calculate `Delta H ` for `CH_(4) + 2O_(2) rarr CO_(2)+ 2H_(2)O` and `C_(2)H_(6) + ( 7)/( 2) O_(2) rarr 2CO_(2) + 3H_(2)O`. Then calculate `Delta H` per gram
