Which of the following gases will liberate the maximum heat on complete combustion, per gram?

Options:

Answer:
C
Solution:

Heat per mole favours the big hydrocarbons, but per gram: H2: 286/2 = 143 kJ/g; C3H8: 2220/44 ≈ 50.5 kJ/g; C4H10: 2878/58 ≈ 49.6 kJ/g; C2H6: 1560/30 = 52 kJ/g. Hydrogen gives by far the most heat per gram. This is option (c).
