MCQ
If isobutane and n-butane are present in a gas, then how much oxygen should be required for complete combustion of $5 \,kg$ of this gas ............ $\mathrm{kg}$
  • $17.9$
  • B
    $9$
  • C
    $27$
  • D
    $1.8$

Answer

Correct option: A.
$17.9$
a
(a) Isobutane and $n-$butane $\left[ {{C_4}{H_{10}}} \right]$ have same molecular formula;

${C_4}{H_{10}} + \frac{{13}}{2}{O_2} \to 4C{O_2} + 5{H_2}O$

For $58\,gm$ of ${C_4}{H_{10}}$ $208 \,gm$ ${O_2}$ is required then for $5\, kg$ of ${C_4}{H_{10}}$

${O_2} = \frac{{5 \times 208}}{{58}} = 17.9\,kg$
