A. The temperature at which the fuel catches fire.
B. The amount of oxygen required for combustion.
C. The amount of heat produced by complete combustion of 1 kg of fuel.
D. The total amount of fuel available.
Answer: Option C
Solution (By JKExamLibrary)
Calorific value is the amount of heat energy produced on the complete combustion of 1 kg (or 1 m³ for gases) of a fuel. It is expressed in kJ/kg or kJ/m³. Hydrogen has the highest calorific value among common fuels, making it a highly efficient energy source.
Explanation:
Thermosets (e.g., Bakelite) form extensive cross-links between polymer chains, making them rigid. Heating breaks bonds but degrades, not remolds. Thermoplastics are linear/branched.
Explanation:
NaOH is a strong base, fully dissociating into Na⁺ and OH⁻ ions. NH₄OH is a weak base. Ca(OH)₂ and Mg(OH)₂ are sparingly soluble but are considered strong bases in terms of dissociation of dissolved portion, but NaOH is the strongest among common ones.
Explanation:
Electronegativity is the tendency of an atom to attract shared electrons in a chemical bond. It increases across a period and decreases down a group. Fluorine, located at the top right of the periodic table (Group 17, Period 2), has the smallest atomic radius and highest effective nuclear charge, giving it the highest electronegativity (3.98 on Pauling scale).
