What quantity of oxygen is required for complete burning of \(15.6 \mathrm{~g}\) benzene?

  1. A \(75 \mathrm{~g}\)
  2. B \(88 \mathrm{~g}\)
  3. C \(48 \mathrm{~g}\)
  4. D \(64 \mathrm{~g}\)
Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(C) \(48 \mathrm{~g}\)

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

\(\begin{aligned} & \mathrm{C}_6 \mathrm{H}_6+\frac{15}{2} \mathrm{O}_2 \rightarrow 6 \mathrm{CO}_2+3 \mathrm{H}_2 \mathrm{O} \\ & \frac{15.6}{78}=0.2 \mathrm{~mol} \\ & 1.5 \mathrm{~mol} \times 32 \\ & =48 \mathrm{~g}\end{aligned}\)
