MCQ

Problem:

Volume of oxygen at NTP, required to completely burn 1 kg of coal (100 % carbon) is
(a) 22.4 L
(b) 1.86 x 103 L
(c) 22.4 x 103 L
(d) 1000 L


Solution:

The equation for reaction of coal with oxygen during burning is
C space plus space O subscript 2 space end subscript yields space C O subscript 2
1 mole of C reacts with 1 mole of O2.
Mass of coal = 1 kg = 1000 g
Molar mass of C = 12 g/mol
Moles of C = mass/molar mass = 1000/12 = 83.3 mol
83.3 moles of carbon will react with 83.3 moles of oxygen.
At NTP, 1 mol = 22.4 L
83.3 moles = 22.4 x 83.3 = 1866 L = 1.86 x 103 L
Option (b) is correct.
