    If LPG cylinder contains mixture of butane and isobutane, then the amount of oxygen that would be required for combustion of 1 kg of it will be

    A)  2.7 kg                                  

    B)  1.8 kg

    C)  3.58 kg                                

    D)  4.5 kg

    Correct Answer: C

    Solution :

                     Combustion of butane takes place as                                 \[{{C}_{4}}{{H}_{10}}\]   \[+\frac{13}{2}{{O}_{2}}\xrightarrow{{}}4C{{O}_{2}}+5{{H}_{2}}O\]                 \[4\times 12+10\times 1\]                                 \[=48+10\]                                 \[=58\,g\] Now, 58 kg \[{{C}_{4}}{{H}_{10}}\] require \[{{O}_{2}}\]                 \[=\frac{13}{2}\times 32=208\,\,kg\] \[\therefore \,\,1\,kg{{C}_{4}}{{H}_{10}}\] require \[{{O}_{2}}\]                 \[=\frac{208}{58}=3.58\,\,kg\]
