Molar masses of

C_2H_2to2xx12+2xx1=26g"/"molC2H22×12+2×1=26g/mol

C_2H_4to2xx12+4xx1=28g"/"molC2H42×12+4×1=28g/mol

CH_4to1xx12+4xx1=16g"/"molCH41×12+4×1=16g/mol

The mole ratio in the mixture

C_2H_2:C_2H_4:CH_4=2:1:2C2H2:C2H4:CH4=2:1:2

The mass ratio in the mixture

C_2H_2:C_2H_4:CH_4=(2xx26):(1xx28):(2xx16)=13:7:8C2H2:C2H4:CH4=(2×26):(1×28):(2×16)=13:7:8

The masses of the components in the gas mixture of 1g

C_2H_2to13/28g-> 13/28xx1/26mol=1/56molC2H21328g1328×126mol=156mol

C_2H_4to7/28g->7/28xx1/28mol=1/112molC2H4728g728×128mol=1112mol

CH_4to8/28g->8/28xx1/16mol=1/56molCH4828g828×116mol=156mol

Balanced equation of the reactions

C_2H_2(g)+5/2O_2(g)->2CO_2(g)+H_2O(l)C2H2(g)+52O2(g)2CO2(g)+H2O(l)

C_2H_4(g)+3O_2(g)->2CO_2(g)+2H_2O(l)C2H4(g)+3O2(g)2CO2(g)+2H2O(l)

CH_4(g)+2O_2(g)->CO_2(g)+2H_2O(l)CH4(g)+2O2(g)CO2(g)+2H2O(l)

So the number of moles of color(red)(O_2(g))O2(g) required for complete burning of component gases are

C_2H_2to1/56xx5/2=5/112molC2H2156×52=5112mol

C_2H_4to1/112xx3=3/112molC2H41112×3=3112mol

CH_4to1/56xx2=4/112molCH4156×2=4112mol

So total amount of color(red)(O_2(g))O2(g) required for complete burning of 1 g gas mixture is

O_2->(5+3+4)/112mol=12/112molO25+3+4112mol=12112mol

As the ratio of O_2 :N_2O2:N2 by volume in air is (20%):(80%)=1:4(20%):(80%)=1:4

The mole ratio of O_2 :N_2O2:N2 in air will be =1:4=1:4

So in air 12/112mol12112mol O_2O2 will be with 12/112xx4mol12112×4mol N_2N2

Hence total mass of air required for complete burning is

12/112mol12112mol O_2+O2+ 12/112xx4mol12112×4mol N_2N2

=(12xx32+48xx28)/112g=1728/112g->=12×32+48×28112g=1728112g option A
