10 ml of a certain hydrocarbon require 55 mL of oxygen for complete combustion and the volume of `CO_2` produced is 40 mL. What is the formula of hydrocarbon?

A

`C_(2)H_(2)`

B

`C_(2)H_(4)`

C

`CH_(4)`

D

`C_(2)H_(6)`

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
A
`C_(2)H_(2)+5/2O_(2)to2CO_(2)+H_(2)O`, 1 mole or 1 volume of `C_(2)H_(2)` requires 2.5 mole or 2.5 volume of `O_(2)`.
