Some Basic Concepts of Chemistry - Result Question 11

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

[2008]

(a) 7L

(b) 6L

(c) 5L

(d) 10L

Show Answer

Solution:

  1. (c) Writing the equation of combustion of propane (C3H8), we get

C3H8 lvol  IL +5O25vol3CO2+4H2O

From the above equation we find that we need 5L of oxygen at N.T.P. to completely burn 1L 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. 5L is the correct answer.
