The question "What is the volume of energy required to burn 45cm³ of mixture at S.T.P" contains a conceptual error, as energy is not measured in volume units (cm³). However, given the options are in cm³ and it's a chemistry problem involving "burning" a "mixture" at S.T.P., it is highly probable that the question intends to ask for the volume of oxygen required to combust a specific gaseous fuel.
We will assume the "mixture" refers to a common gaseous fuel, and the question asks for the volume of oxygen required for its complete combustion. Among common gaseous fuels, methane (CH4) is a frequent subject in such problems.
Step 1: Write the balanced chemical equation for the combustion of methane.
The combustion of methane with oxygen produces carbon dioxide and water.
CH4(g)+2O2(g)→CO2(g)+2H2O(g)
Step 2: Apply Gay-Lussac's Law of Combining Volumes.
At Standard Temperature and Pressure (S.T.P.), the volumes of gaseous reactants and products are in simple whole-number ratios, which correspond to their stoichiometric coefficients in the balanced chemical equation.
From the balanced equation, the ratio of methane to oxygen is 1:2. This means 1 volume of CH4 reacts with 2 volumes of O2.
Step 3: Calculate the volume of oxygen required.
Given the volume of the "mixture" (assumed to be methane) is 45 cm³.
Volume of O2 required = 2×VolumeofCH4
Volume of O2 required = 2×45cm3=90cm3
This result matches option D.
The final answer is D)90.0cm3.
