Which of the following on combustion gives maximum energy?
Ethane
Propane
Methane
Butane
D.
Butane
Equation for combustion of alkanes is as follows-
CnH2n+2 + O2 → nCO2 + (n + 1) H2O + Heat
Greater the value of n greater will be the heat produced. Therefore, on combustion butane gives maximum energy.
C2H6 + CH3Cl C6H5CH3 + HCl
