Question 4 of 5
4. Question
Consider the following statements.
- Hydrogen in its pure form is the most abundant element available on Earth.
- Since Hydrogen has higher energy density than that of diesel, it makes it a rich source of energy.
Which of the above statements is/are correct?
Correct
Solution: b)
Hydrogen is the most abundant element on the planet, but rarely in its pure form which is how we need it. It has an energy density almost three times that of diesel. This phenomenon makes it a rich source of energy, but the challenge is to compress or liquify the LH2 (liquid hydrogen); it needs to be kept at a stable minus 253° C (far below the temperature of minus 163° C at which Liquified Natural Gas (LNG) is stored; entailing its ‘prior to use exorbitant cost’.
