What volume of oxygen at s.t.p is required to burn completely 7.5 dm\(^3\) of methane according to the following equation?

CH\(_4\) \(_g\) + 20\(_2\) \(_g\)  → CO\(_2\) \(_g\) + H\(_2\)O\(_g\)

A.

3.75 dm\(^3\)

B.

7.59 dm\(^3\)

C.

15.0 dm\(^3\)

D.

30.0dm\(^3\)

Correct answer is C

1 mole of methane reacts with 2 moles of oxygen

1 vol of methane reacts with 2 vol of oxygen

: 7.5  vol of methane will yield 15 vol of oxygen in dm\(^3\)
