sblock Elements - Result Question 60

####11. The correct statements among (a) to (d) regarding $H _2$ as a fuel are :

(2019 Main, 11 Jan I)

I. It produces less pollutants than petrol.

II. A cylinder of compressed dihydrogen weights $\sim 30$ times more than a petrol tank producing the same amount of energy.

III. Dihydrogen is stored in tanks of metal alloys like $NaNi _5$.

IV. On combustion, values of energy released per gram of liquid dihydrogen and LPG are 50 and $142 kJ$, respectively.

(a) I, II and III only

(b) II, III and IV only

(c) II and IV only

(d) I and III only

Show Answer

Answer:

Correct Answer: 11. (b)

Solution:

  1. (I) $H _2$ is a $100 %$ pollution free fuel. So, statement (I) is correct.

(II) Molecular weight of $H _2(2 u)$.

$=\frac{1}{29} \times$ molecular weight of butane,

$C _4 H _{10}$ (LPG) [58u].

So, compressed $H _2$ weighs $\sim 30$ times more than a petrol tank and statement (II) is correct.

(III) $NaNi _5, Ti-TiH _2$ etc. are used for storage of $H _2$ in small quantities. Thus, statement (III) is correct.

(IV) On combustion values of energy released per gram of liquid dihydrogen $\left(H _2\right): 142 kJ g^{-1}$, and for LPG : $50 kJ g^{-1}$. So, staement (IV) is incorrect.
