Question
**Match the observations in a eudiometry experiment ($C_xH_y$ combustion):** <br><br>**Column I:** <br>(A) Contraction on cooling <br>(B) Contraction with $KOH$ <br>(C) Contraction with Alkaline Pyrogallol <br>(D) Volume of $O_2$ used <br><br>**Column II:** <br>(P) Volume of $CO_2$ produced <br>(Q) Volume of $H_2O$ (if considered gas) <br>(R) Volume of unreacted $O_2$ <br>(S) $V_{HC} \times (x + y/4)$
💡 Solution & Explanation
**(A)** Cooling turns water vapor to liquid, causing volume loss (Q). <br>**(B)** $KOH$ absorbs $CO_2$ (P). <br>**(C)** Alkaline pyrogallol absorbs excess oxygen (R). <br>**(D)** The volume of oxygen consumed is determined by the stoichiometry $x + y/4$ (S).
