A certain hydrocarbon on complete combustion at s.t.p produced 89.6dm3 of CO2 and 54g of water. The hydrocarbon should be?

A.

C6H6

B.

C4H10

C.

C5H10

D.

C4H6

Correct answer is D

CxHy + (x + y/4)O2 x CO2 + y/2 H2O

89.6 dm3 x moles CO2

22.4 dm3 1 mole CO2

x = 89.622.4

= 4 moles CO2

54g of H2O k moles H2O

18g H2O 1 mole H2O

k = 5418

= 3 moles H2O

From the equation above,

x = 4 

k = y/2 = 3

y/2 = 3 y = 6

The hydrocarbon C_xH_y = C_4H_6
