Consider the following reaction equation
C2H4(g) + 3O2(g) 2CO2(g) + 2H2O(l).

The volume of oxygen at s.t.p that will be required to burn 14g of ethene is
[C2H4 = 28; Molar volume of gas at s.t.p = 22.4dm3

A.

64.2dm3

B.

33.6dm3

C.

11.2dm3

D.

3.73dm3

Correct answer is B

C2H4(g) + 3O2(g) 2CO2(g) + 2H2O(l)

1 mole of ethene required 3 moles of O2
28g of ethene required 3 x 22.4dm3 of O2

14g will require 14×3×22.4dm328

= 33.6dm3
