Question 6

Ethene burns completely in an excess of oxygen.

C2H4(g)+3O2(g)→2CO2(g)+2H2O(l)\mathrm{C_{2}H_{4}(g) + 3O_{2}(g) \rightarrow 2CO_{2}(g) + 2H_{2}O(l)}C2​H4​(g)+3O2​(g)→2CO2​(g)+2H2​O(l)

At room temperature and pressure, 50 cm350\,\mathrm{cm^{3}}50cm3 of ethene is mixed with oxygen and ignited. All gas volumes are measured at room temperature and pressure, with the reaction mixture allowed to cool before its final volume is measured. The gases remaining after the reaction have a total volume of 130 cm3130\,\mathrm{cm^{3}}130cm3. What is the volume of oxygen in the mixture before it is ignited?

A

130 cm3130\,\mathrm{cm^{3}}130cm3

B

280 cm3280\,\mathrm{cm^{3}}280cm3

C
