A) Mention any two properties of an ideal fuel. (b) What is meant by calorific value? (c) 2kg of a fuel produces 48,000 KJ of heat energy and complete combustion. Calculate the calorific value of the fuel.

Answer and explanation:

A) An ideal fuel must:

- easy to transport and storage.

- have a high calorific value.

B) The calorific value for a fuel is the amount of heat - measured in Joules- which is produced during the complete combustion of the fuel. It is expressed in Joules per Kg of fuel (J/kg).

C) From the data:

mass of fuel = 2 kg

heat produced = 48,000 KJ

We calculate the calorific value by dividing the heat produced by the mass of fuel, as follows:

calorific value = heat produced/mass of fuel = (48,000 KJ)/(2 kg)= 24,000 kJ/kg

Since 1 KJ= 1000 J, we can express the calorific value in J/kg as follows:

24,000 kJ/kg x 1000 J/1 kJ = 2.4 x 10⁷ J/kg

i think its 5049.

i hope this !
