What volume of oxygen gas (O2) measured ...

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?

A

5L

B

10 L

C

7 L

D

6 L

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
A
` underset( 1 vol ) (C_3 H_8 ) + underset( 5 vol ) (5O_2) to underset( 3 vol ) ( 3CO_2) + underset( 4 vol )( 4 H_2 O)` (balanced equation)
According to the above equation, 1 vol. or 1 litre of propane requires to 5 vol. or 5 litre of O2 to burn completely.
