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\text{CH}_4) is a frequent subject in such problems.

  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)\text{CH}_4(g) + 2\text{O}_2(g) \to \text{CO}_2(g) + 2\text{H}_2\text{O}(g)
  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\text{CH}_4 reacts with 2 volumes of O2\text{O}_2.

  3. Calculate the volume of oxygen required.

    Given the volume of the "mixture" (assumed to be methane) is 45 cm³.
    Volume of O2\text{O}_2 required = 2×Volume of CH42 \times \text{Volume of CH}_4
    Volume of O2\text{O}_2 required = 2×45 cm3=90 cm32 \times 45 \text{ cm}^3 = 90 \text{ cm}^3

    This result matches option D.

    The final answer is D) 90.0cm3\text{D) 90.0cm}^3.
