An ideal gaseous mixture of ethane ( C ₂ H ₆ ) and ethene ( C ₂ H ₄ ) occupies 28 litre at 1 atm and 273 ~K . The mixture reacts completely with 128 ~g O ₂ to produce CO ₂ and H ₂ O . Mole fraction at C ₂ H ₆ in the mixture is:
Options
- A0.6
- B0.4
- C0.5
- D0.8
Correct answer
B. 0.4
Step-by-step solution
C ₂ H ₆+3.5 O ₂ 2 CO ₂+3 H ₂ O ; C ₂ H ₄+3 O ₂ 2 CO ₂+2 H ₂ O Let volume of ethane is x litre, 22.4 4=3.5 x +3(28- x ) x =11.2 litre at constant T and P , V n ; Mole fraction of C ₂ H ₆ in mixture = 11.2 28 =0.4
