When 5 litres of a gas mixture of methane and propane is perfectly combused at `0^(@)C` and 1 atmosphere, 16 litres of oxygen at the same temperature and pressure is consumed. The amount of heat released from this combustion in kJ `[DeltaH_("comb.")(CH_(4))=890 " kJ mol"^(-1), DeltaH_("comb")(C_(3)H_(8))=2220 " kJ mol"^(-1)]` isA. 38B. 317C. 477D. 32

Answer» Correct Answer - B
`underset(X)(CH_(4))+underset(2X)(2O_(2))rarrCO_(2)+2H_(2)O`
`underset((5-x))(C_(3)H_(8))+underset(5(5-x))(5O_(2))rarr3CO_(2)+4H_(2)O`
`2x+5(5-x)=16impliesx=3L`
`therefore` Heat released = `(3)/(22.4)xx890+(2)/(22.4)xx2220=317`.
