(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})
