Question

$$ \begin{aligned} &\mathrm{C}(\mathrm{s})+\mathrm{O}_{2}(\mathrm{~g}) \rightarrow \mathrm{CO}_{2}(\mathrm{~g})+400 \mathrm{~kJ} \\ &\mathrm{C}(\mathrm{s})+\frac{1}{2} \mathrm{O}_{2}(\mathrm{~g}) \rightarrow \mathrm{CO}(\mathrm{g})+100 \mathrm{~kJ} \end{aligned} $$

When coal of purity 60% is allowed to burn in presence of insufficient oxygen, 60% of carbon is converted into 'CO' and the remaining is converted into '$\mathrm{CO}_{2}$'. The heat generated when $0.6 \mathrm{~kg}$ of coal is burnt is _________.
