JEE Main 2022 · 26 Jun · Shift 2, Chemistry question 81

CNG is an important transportation fuel. When 100 g CNG is mixed with 208 g oxygen in vehicles, it leads to the formation of CO2\mathrm{CO_2} and H2O\mathrm{H_2O} and produces large quantity of heat during this combustion, then the amount of carbon dioxide, produced in grams is ______. [nearest integer]

[Assume CNG to be methane]

Answer and worked solution

Official answer: 143

Moles. CH4\mathrm{CH_4} 10016=6.25\frac{100}{16}=6.25; O2\mathrm{O_2} 20832=6.5\frac{208}{32}=6.5.

Limiting. CH4+2O2\mathrm{CH_4+2O_2}: oxygen limits, giving 3.253.25 mol CO2=143\mathrm{CO_2}=143 g.

Answer: 143
