Solution

The correct option is A

7555L


Combustible part out of 1 kg = 850gm

850g of carbon= 70.83moles
1 mole of C requieres one mole of oxygen for complete combustion:
C+O2CO2

Vol. of oxygen needed for 70.83 mole of carbon = 70.83 × 22.4 = 1586.6L

Vol. of air that can supply 1586.6 L of oxygen = 1586.6 × 10021 = 7555.5L
