The volume of oxygen at STP required to burn 2.4 g of carbon completely is(a) 1.12 L(b) 8.96 L(c) 2.24 L(d) 4.48 L

Answer»

Answer is : (d) 4.48 L

C(s) + O2(g) → CO2(g)

1 mole of carbon reacts completely with 1 mole of oxygen to produce 1 mole of CO2.

12 g of C reacts = 1 mole of O2

2.4 g of C reacts with = 1/12 x 2.4 = 0.2 mole of O2

At STP 1 mole of O2 contains = 22.4 L

∴ 0.2 mole of O2 contains = 22.4 x 0.2 = 4.48 L
