Answer:

[tex][/tex] What is calorific value?

The energy contained in a fuel or food, determined by measuring the heat produced by the complete combustion of a specified quantity of it.

The heating value (or energy value or calorific value) of a substance, usually a fuel or food (see food energy), is the amount of heat released during the combustion of a specified amount of it.

The calorific value is the total energy released as heat when a substance undergoes complete combustion with oxygen under standard conditions. The chemical reaction is typically a hydrocarbon or other organic molecule reacting with oxygen to form carbon dioxide and water and release heat. It may be expressed with the quantities:

• energy/mole of fuel
• energy/mass of fuel
• energy/volume of the fuel
