Q.

A gas mixture contains acetylene and carbondioxide. 20 lit of this mixture requires 20 lit of oxygen under the same conditions for complete combustion. The percentage by volume of carbondioxide. in the mixture is

View Answer

Correct choice: C

Explanation:

 CO2 is not combustable. If vol of C2 H2 =x then vol. of CO2=20-x
2 C2 H2 + 5O2 → 4 CO2 +2H2 O
2 vol.of acetylene reacts with 5 vol.of oxygen
2lit of acetylene reacts with 5 lit .of oxygen
? of acetylene reacts with 20 lit .of oxygen
Vol. of acetylene =(20X2/5)=8lit
Vol.of CO2 in the mixture= 20-8 =12lit
Vol% of Co2 = ( 12X100/20)=60%
