Solution

The correct option is C 440 g
The molar masses of C2H4O2,O2 and CO2 are 60 g/mole, 32 g/mole and 44 g/mole respectively.
1 mole of C2H4O2 will react with 2 moles of O2 to produce 244 moles of CO2.
Thus, 60+2(32)=124g of a mixture of C2H4O2 and O2 will produce 2×44=88g of CO2.
The mass of CO2 produced on combustion of 620 g mixture will be88124×620=440 g.
