An LPG (Liquified Petroleum Gas) cylinder weighs 15.0 kg when empty. When full, it weighs 30.0 kg and shows a pressure of 3.0 atm . In the course of usage at \(27^{\circ} \mathrm{C}\), the mass of the full cylinder is reduced to 24.2 kg . The volume of the used gas in cubic metre at the normal usage condition ( 1 atm and \(27^{\circ} \mathrm{C}\) ) is (assume LPG to be normal butane and it behaves ideally)

  1. A \(24.6 \mathrm{~m}^3\)
  2. B \(246 \mathrm{~m}^3\)
  3. C \(0.246 \mathrm{~m}^3\)
  4. D \(2.46 \mathrm{~m}^3\)
Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(D) \(2.46 \mathrm{~m}^3\)

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

Weight of gas \(=15 \mathrm{~kg}\) Weight of gas in the cylinder after use \(=24.2-15.0=9.2\) \(\therefore\) Gas used \(=15-9.2=5.8 \mathrm{~kg}\)…
