JEE Mains · Chemistry · STD 11 - 1. Some basic concept of chemistry

At \(300\, K\) and \(1\) atmospheric pressure, \(10\, mL\) of a hydrocarbon required \(55\, mL\) of \(O_2\) for complete combustion, and \(40\, mL\) of \(CO_2\) is formed. The formula of the hydrocarbon is

  1. A \(C_4H_{10}\)
  2. B \(C_4H_6\)
  3. C \(C_4H_7Cl\)
  4. D \(C_4H_8\)
Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(B) \(C_4H_6\)

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

\(\mathop {{C_x}{H_y}}\limits_{10} + \mathop {\left( {x + \frac{y}{4}} \right){O_2}}\limits_{10\left( {x + \frac{y}{4}} \right)} \to \mathop {xC{O_2}}\limits_{10x} + \frac{y}{2}{H_2}O\) By given data, \(10\left( {x + \frac{y}{4}} \right) = 55....(1)\) \(10x = 40....(2)\)…
