    What is the weight of oxygen that is required for the complete combustion of 2.8 kg of ethylene?

    A)  9.6kg                                   

    B)  96.0kg

    C)  6.4kg                                   

    D)  2.8kg

    Correct Answer: A

    Solution :

                     On the combustion of ethylene carbon dioxide and water are formed.                 \[{{C}_{2}}{{H}_{4}}\,\,\,\,\,+\,\,\,\,\,\,3{{O}_{2}}\xrightarrow{{}}2C{{O}_{2}}+2{{H}_{2}}O\] \[12\times 2+4=28\]              96 \[\because \]The weight of oxygen required for complete combustion of 28 g of ethylene = 96 g \[\therefore \] The weight of oxygen required for complete combustion of 2.8 kg of ethylene                 \[=\frac{96\times 2.8\times 1000}{28}\]                 = 9600 g = 9.6 kg
