    A) Butane                

    B) Isobutane

    C) Ethane                 

    D) Propane

    Correct Answer: D

    Solution :

    \[{{C}_{n}}{{H}_{2n+2}}+\left( \frac{3n+1}{2} \right){{O}_{2}}\xrightarrow[{}]{{}}nC{{O}_{2}}+(n+1){{H}_{2}}O\]                 5 L                           25 L Since volumes are measured at constant T & P So, Volume ? mole \[\therefore \]\[{{n}_{alkane}}=\left( \frac{2}{3n+1} \right)\times {{n}_{{{O}_{2}}}}\] \[5=\frac{2}{3n+1}\times 25\] \[\therefore \]\[n=3\] \[\therefore \]Alkane is propane \[({{C}_{3}}{{H}_{8}}).\].
