With increase in C/H ratio of a fuel, the amount of CO2 formed on its complete combustion____________________?
Correct answer: D. Increases
- A. Either A. or B., depends on other factors
- B. Decreases
- C. Remain same
- D. Increases
Explanation
For a fixed mass of fuel, a higher C/H ratio means a greater fraction of carbon is present. Complete combustion therefore produces more CO2 per unit mass of fuel.
