Some Basic Concepts Of Chemistry Question 77

Question: What volume of oxygen gas (O2) measured at 0C and 1 atm, is needed to burn completely 1L of propane gas (C3H8) measured under the same conditions?

Options:

A) 7L

B) 6L

C) 5L

D) 10L

Show Answer

Answer:

Correct Answer: C

Solution:

[c] Writing the equation of combustion of propane (C3H8) , we get C3H81,vol1L,+5O25vol5L,3CO2+4H2O From the above equation we find that we need 5 L of oxygen at NTP to completely burn 1 L of propane at N.T.P. If we change the conditions for both the gases from N.T.P. to same conditions of temperature and pressure. The same results are obtained, i.e. 5 L is the correct answer.
