Question

Air contains 20% O2 by volume. What volume of air is needed at 0o C and 1 atm for complete combustion of 80 g methane?

Options

A.10 L
B.50 L
C.224 L
D.1120 L

Solution

CH4 + 2O2 → CO2 + 2 H2O

16 g 2 × 22.4 L at 0o C and 1 atm

$\therefore 80\text{ g} \frac{2 \times 22.4}{16} \times 80 = 224L$

Hence, the volume of air needed $= \frac{100}{20} \times 224 = 1120L$
