    Compound A is pentane, an alkane with the molecular formula C5H12. Pentane can be burned to produce carbon dioxide and water. When 1.44 g of pentane is burned, 2.4 dm3 of carbon dioxide is produced at room temperature. Pentane has structural isomers such as 2-methylpentane. Alkanes are saturated hydrocarbons containing only single carbon-carbon bonds.

    Write the general formula for this
    compound and state the value of n
    CnH2n+2 n=1,2,3….
    C)Write the molecular formula and the
    empirical formula for compound A.

    Molecular formula : C5H12

    Empirical formula : C5H12


    d)Compound A can be burnt in air.
    (a)Write the chemical equation for this reaction.

    C5H12+ 8O2 → 5CO2 + 6H20


    (b) If 1.44 g of compound A is burnt in excess
    oxygen, find the volume of carbon dioxide
    released at room temperature.
    [RAM: C, 12; H, 1; 1 mole of gas occupies 24 dm3 at
    room temperature]

    Ans: 2.4 dm3


    C5H12+ 8O2 → 5CO2 + 6H20
    1.44g ?
    From the chemical equation :
    Mole Ratios:
    1 mol C5H12 : 5 mol CO2

    0.02 mol C5H12 : 0.02 mol C5H12 × 5 mol CO2


    1 mol C5H12
    = 0.1 mol CO2
    Volume of gas Co2 at = 0.1×24
    room condition = 2.4dm3
    = 2400 cm3
