The Orsat apparatus gives Correct Answer The percentage composition by volume on the dry basis

Explanation:

Orsat apparatus:

The Orsat analysis technique is a quick, simple, and inexpensive method for volumetric analysis of the combustion products.

An Orsat gas analyzer uses a chemical absorption technique to determine mole fractions of CO2, CO, and O2 in the exhaust gas.

Since it cannot measure H2O content, the exhaust gas sample is cooled to atmospheric temperature, so most of the water vapour in the combustion products gets condensed out. Therefore, the Orsat analysis is treated as an analysis of the dry combustion products.

The Orsat apparatus also does not detect unburnt hydrocarbons and free hydrogen in the products.

Important Points

  • A bomb calorimeter is used for finding the higher calorific value of solid and liquid fuels
  • A viscometer (also called viscosimeter) is an instrument used to measure the viscosity of a fluid
  • A calorimeter is used to measure the enthalpy, the heat energy, of a reaction
