MCQ
$5\,L$ of a gaseous mixture of ethane and propane are burnt to produce total $11\,L$ of $CO_2$ . Volume percent of $C_2H_6$ in the initial mixture is 
  • A
    $10$
  • B
    $20$
  • $80$
  • D
    $60$

Answer

Correct option: C.
$80$
c
$\mathop {{{\text{C}}_2}{{\text{H}}_6}}\limits_{x\,litre}  + \mathop {{{\text{C}}_3}{{\text{H}}_8}}\limits_{(5 - x)\,litre}  + {{\text{O}}_2} \to \mathop {{\text{C}}{{\text{O}}_2}}\limits_{11\,litre} $

$2 \times x + 3(5 - x) = 1 \times 11$

$2 x+15-3 x=11$

$x=4\, L$

Volume percentage of $\mathrm{C}_{2} \mathrm{H}_{6}=\frac{4}{5} \times 100=$

$80 \%$
