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

If a rocket runs on a fuel \(\left( C _{15} H _{30}\right)\) and liquid oxygen, the weight of oxygen required and \(CO _{2}\) released for every litre of fuel respectively are: (Given: density of the fuel is \(0.756\, g / mL\) )

  1. A \(1188 \,g\) and \(1296 \,g\)
  2. B \(2376 \,g\) and \(2592 \,g\)
  3. C \(2592\, g\) and \(2376 \,g\)
  4. D \(3429\, g\) and \(3142 \,g\)
Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(C) \(2592\, g\) and \(2376 \,g\)

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

\(C _{15} H _{30}+\frac{45}{2} O _{2} \rightarrow 15 CO _{2}+15 H _{2} O\) Mass of fuel \(=0.756 \times 1000 \,g\) No. of moles of fuel \(=\frac{0.756 \times 1000}{210}\) Wt. of oxygen \(=\frac{0.756 \times 1000}{210} \times \frac{45}{2} \times 32=2592 \,g\) Wt of…
