NEET2008ChemistrySome Basic Concepts of ChemistryActual
What volume of oxygen gas ( O ₂ ) measured at 0^ C and 1 ~atm , is needed to burn completely 1 ~L of propane gas ( C ₃ H ₈ ) measured under the same conditions?
Options
- A7 ~L
- B6 ~L
- C5 ~L
- D10 ~L
Correct answer
C. 5 ~L
Step-by-step solution
Key Idea : Volume of a gas at S T P=22.4 ~L aligned & C ₃ H ₈+5 O ₂ 3 CO ₂+4 H ₂ O & 22.4 ~L 5 22.4 ~L aligned To burn 22.4 ~L C ₃ H ₈ the oxygen required is =5 22.4 ~L To burn 1 LC ₃ H ₈ the oxygen required will be aligned & = 5 22.4 22.4 & =5 ~L aligned
