 2. A sample of coal contains 93 % C, 6% H and 1% ash. Calculate the gross and
net calorific value of the coal from the following data: Weight of coal burnt =
0.92 g, Weight of water taken = 550 g, Water equivalent of bomb calorimeter
= 2,200 g, Corrected rise in temperature and = 2.42 0C, Latent heat of water =
587 cal/g
