Question

$10 \text{ mL}$ of a mixture of $CH_4$ and $C_2H_4$ was exploded with $30 \text{ mL}$ of $O_2$. After cooling, the volume was $21 \text{ mL}$. After treatment with $KOH$, the volume was $7 \text{ mL}$. Calculate the volume of $CH_4$ in the mixture.

Answer: $6 \TEXT{ ML}$

💡 Solution & Explanation

$\text{Vol } CO_2 = 21 - 7 = 14 \text{ mL}$. <br>Let $x = CH_4, y = C_2H_4$. $x + y = 10$. <br>From carbon balance: $x + 2y = 14$. <br>Solving gives $y = 4, x = 6$.
