35 cm3 of hydrogen was sparked with 12 cm3 of oxygen at 110°C and 760mm Hg to produce steam. What percentage of the total volume of gas left after the reaction is hydrogen?

A.

11%

B.

31%

C.

35%

D.

69%

Correct answer is B

Reaction for the equation:

2H2+O22H2O

2vol:1vol:2vol

Hence, 2 volumes of Hydrogen is needed for the reaction with Oxygen to produce steam (water).

\text{Excess of Hydrogen} : 35 cm^{3} - 24 cm^{3} = 11 cm^{3}

\text{% Hydrogen left after the reaction} = \frac{11}{35} \times 100% = \frac{220}{7} = 31.48%
