(50cm^{3}) of hydrogen are sparked with (20cm^{3}) of oxygen at (100°C) and (1atm) . The total volume of the residual gases in

  • A.
    50 cm3
  • B.
    10 cm3
  • C.
    40 cm3
  • D.
    30 cm3
  • E.
    70 cm3
Correct Answer: Option A
Explanation

The equation of the reaction is:

(2H_{{2}{(g)}} + O_{{2}{(g)}} = 2H_{2}O_{(g)})

Before Sparking we have : (50cm^{3} : 20cm^{3})

On Sparking, (40cm^{3} : 20cm^{3} : 40cm^{3})

After Sparking, we have (10cm^{3} : 0  : 40cm^{3})

Hence, the volume of residual gases = ((10+40)cm^{3} = 50cm^{3})
