Question
When 0.03 L of a mixture of hydrogen and oxygen was exploded, 0.003 L of oxygen remained. The initial mixture contains (by volume)
Options
A.60% O2
B.40% O2
C.50% O2
D.30% O2
Solution
2H2 + O2 → 2H2O
2V vol V vol
From question, 2V + V + 0.003 = 0.03
⇒ V = 0.009
∴ Percentage of oxygen $= \frac{0.009 + 0.003}{0.03} \times 100 = 40\%$
