Question

For complete burning of 1 kg of carbon, the air required will be about

1 किलो कार्बन को पूरी तरह जलाने के लिए लगभग कितनी हवा की आवश्यकता होगी?

A.

2.67kg

B.

12.7 kg

C.

11.6 kg

D.

14.5 kg

Answer ( Option C)

11.6 kg

Solution

Atomic weight of carbon = 12

Atomic weight of oxygen = 16     


12  32  44

12 kg of carbon will burn completely with 32 kg of oxygen

1 kg of carbon requires  of oxygen

Air contains 21% of oxygen by volume and 23% by weight. So, mass of air required

 

..Method 2..

For 12 g of carbon we need, 2x 16= 32  g of oxygen

So, for 1 kg (1000 g) we need 2666 g of oxygen, and in moles  moles of air. 

In volume it would require about 9340 L of air.

m = 9.340 m3 1.2 kg/m3 = 11.208 kg 11.6 kg

Hence, the correct option is (C).
