Question

Amount of carbon dioxide produced by the combustion of hydrocarbons is proportional to the number of carbon atoms in them.

• A. True
• B. False

Answer 1

The correct option is A

True

As the number of carbon atoms in the hydrocarbons increase, the amount of carbon dioxide produced by their combustion increases. 1 kg of methane produces 2.75kg of carbon dioxide on combustion while 1kg of butane produces 3.03kg of carbon dioxide upon combustion. Therefore, the given statement is true.
