Solution

The correct option is B

173 ml


When the mixture is burnt, all the 3 components will burn. So,
C3H8 + 5 O2 → 3CO2 + 4H2O(l)
CH4 + 2O2CO2+ 2H2O(l)
2CO + 2O2→ 2CO2
If I take 100 ml sample of the mixture having a ml of C3H8, b ml of CH4 and c ml of CO,
a = 36.5 ml
a + b + c = 100 ml
from the reactions and Avagadro's Law,
1 unit vol C3H8 gives 3 unit vol CO2
1 unit vol CH4 gives 1 unit vol CO2
And1 vol CO gives 1 vol CO2
∴ Total volume of CO2 obtained = 3(a) + 1(b) + 1(c)
= 3(36.5) + (b + c)
= 3(36.5) + (100 - 36.5) =173 ml
