The volume of oxygen required for complete combustion of 0.25 mole of methane at S.T.P. is

  1. A \(5 \cdot 6 \mathrm{dm}^{3}\)
  2. B \(7 \cdot 46 \mathrm{dm}^{3}\)
  3. C \(22 \cdot 4 \mathrm{dm}^{3}\)
  4. D \(11 \cdot 2 \mathrm{dm}^{3}\)
Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(D) \(11 \cdot 2 \mathrm{dm}^{3}\)

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

(C)
\(\mathrm{CH}_{4}+2 \mathrm{O}_{2} \longrightarrow \mathrm{CO}_{2}+2 \mathrm{H}_{2} \mathrm{O}\)
1 mole of methane required \(=2 \times 22.4 \mathrm{dm}^{3}\) of \(\mathrm{O}_{2}\)
\(\therefore 0.25\) mole of methane required \(=2 \times 22.4 \times 0.25=11.2 \mathrm{dm}^{3}\) of \(\mathrm{O}_{2}\)
