What volume of oxygen at STP required to burn 500 dm3 of ethene?

Correct answer: C. 1500 dm3

  • A. 500 dm3
  • B. 1000 dm3
  • C. 1500 dm3
  • D. 2000 dm3

Explanation

1 mole of ethene reacts with 3 moles of O2 to burn completely. C2H4 + 3O2 → 2CO2 + 2H2O So, 500dm^3 will react with 1500 dm^3 (500 × 3 =1500) of oxygen. Hence, option C is correct
