6. 100 ml of gaseous hydrocarbon consumes 300ml of oxygen for the complete combustion. the hydrocarbon is[moe 2060]a. c2h4b. c2h2с. с3н8d. c2h6

Explanation:

At constant pressure and temperature, the mole ratio of the gases is equal to their volume ratio (a consequence of Avogadro's law).

Hence, the complete combustion reaction that has a ratio of 100 ml of gaseous hydrocarbon to 300 ml of oxygen, is that whose mole ratio is 1 mol hydrocarbon : 3 mol of oxygen.

Then, you must write the balanced chemical equations for the complete combustion of the four hydrocarbons in the list of choices, and conclude which has such mole ratio (1 mol hydrocarbon : 3 mol oxygen).

A complete combustion reaction of a hydrocarbon is the reaction with oxygen that produces CO₂ and H₂O, along with the release of heat and light.

a. C₂H₄:

Precisely, for this reaction the mole ratio is 1 mol C₂H₄: 2 mol O₂, hence, this is the right choice.

The following analysis just shows that the other options are not right.

b. C₂H₂:

The mole ratio for this reaction is 2 mol C₂H₂ :5 mol O₂.

с. С₃Н₈

The mole ratio is 1 mol C₃H₈ : 5 mol O₂

d. C₂H₆

The mole ratio is 2 mol C₂H₆ : 7 mol O₂
