Correct Answer: Option A
Explanation:
C3H8 + 502 → 4H2O + 3CO2.
From the equation above 1 dm3 of C3H8 require 5dm3 of O2 at s.t.p.
∴ 50cm3 of C3H8 require x = (50) / (1000) x 5 x 1
x = (250) / (1000)
x = 250cm
C3H8 + 502 → 4H2O + 3CO2.
From the equation above 1 dm3 of C3H8 require 5dm3 of O2 at s.t.p.
∴ 50cm3 of C3H8 require x = (50) / (1000) x 5 x 1
x = (250) / (1000)
x = 250cm
