At 300 K and 1 atm, 15 mL of a gaseous hydrocarbon requires 375 mL air containing 20% O2{O_2} by volume for complete combustion. After combustion, the gases occupy 330 mL. Assuming that the water formed is in liquid form and the volumes were measured at the same temperature and pressure, the formula of the hydrocarbon is
View answer and explanation
Correct option: A
C2H12 {C_2}{H_{12}}\,
The correct answer is A (C2H12 {C_2}{H_{12}}\,) because the hydrocarbon formula is determined by using stoichiometry of the combustion reaction and given volume data.
