Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(B) 17

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

The general formula of an alkane is \(C_n H_{2n+2}\). The balanced chemical equation for the complete combustion of an alkane is: \(C_n H_{2n+2} + \left(\dfrac{3n+1}{2}\right) O_2 \rightarrow n CO_2 + (n+1) H_2O\) Given that \(1\) mole of the alkane requires \(8\) moles of…
