Which of the following has the highest flame speed ?
Correct answer: B. H2
- A. CO
- B. H2
- C. CH4
- D. C2H6
Explanation
Hydrogen has the highest flame speed among the listed fuels because its small, highly diffusive molecules mix and react very rapidly with oxygen. Methane and ethane burn more slowly, while carbon monoxide has a lower flame speed.
