The oxygen required to burn 1 kg of carbon to carbon dioxide is

  • A.8.00 kg
  • B.11.6 kg
  • C.2.67 kg
  • D.1.33 kg

Answer: C

Correct answer: 2.67 kg

The reaction is \( \mathrm{C} + \mathrm{O_2} \rightarrow \mathrm{CO_2} \), so 12 kg of carbon takes 32 kg of oxygen and \[ \frac{32}{12} = 2.67\ \text{kg of oxygen per kg of carbon.} \] The figure 8 belongs to hydrogen and 1 to sulphur; together the three are the whole of Dulong’s oxygen calculation.
