| During pyrolysis, octane decomposes into ethylene and hydrogen. What is the total volume of gases formed during the complete decomposition of 30 liters of octane vapor?
C8H18 = 4C2H4 + H2
It can be seen that the volume of gaseous products is 5 times the volume of octane, so it will be 30 * 5 = 150 l
