Propane burns in air according to the following equation:
C3H8 + 5O2 → 3CO2 + 4H2O
What volume of propane is consumed on using 1000 cm3 of air, considering only 20% of air contains oxygen?
उत्तर
Given:
C3H8 + 5O2 → 3CO2 + 4H2O
Volume of air = 1000 cm3
Percentage of oxygen in air = 20%
From the given information
C3H8 + 5O2 → 3CO2 + 4H2O

According to Gay-Lussac’s law,
1 vol. of propane consumes 5 vol. of oxygen
Volume of oxygen = 1000 cm3 × 20% = 200 cm3
Therefore,
Volume of propane burnt for every 200 cm3 of oxygen
`= 1/5 xx 200 = 40 cm^3`
40 cm3 of propane is burnt.

When gases react their volumes bear a simple ratio to each other, under the same conditions of temperature and pressure. Who proposed this gas law?
The reaction 4N2O + CH4 → CO2 + 2H2O + 4N2 takes place in the gaseous state. If the volumes of all the gases are measured at the same temperature, and pressure, calculate the volume of dinitrogen oxide (N2O), required to give 150cm3 of steam.
Calcium carbide is used for the artificial ripening of fruits. Actually the fruit ripens because of the heat evolved while calcium carbide reacts with the moisture. During this reaction calcium hydroxide and acetylene gas are formed. If 200 cm3 of acetylene is formed from a certain mass of calcium carbide, find the volume of oxygen required and carbon dioxide formed during the complete combustion. The combustion reaction can be represented as below.
