Solution

The correct option is B 296.3 L
Reaction:

C2H4 + 3O2 3CO2 + 2H2O

From the heat of combustion data, one mole of ethylene releases 1411 KJ of heat. If 6226 KJ of heat had been released, the amount of ethylene taken would be, 4.41 moles.

From the equation, it is clear that, 1 mole of ethylene requires 3 moles of oxygen gas. Then 4.41 moles of ethylene would requires 13.23 moles of oxygen gas.

At NTP, the volume required would be, 13.23 x 22.4 = 296.3 L
