Natural gas is a mixture of methane and ethane. The heat produced by the complete combustion of $10 \, L$ of this mixture at $S.T.P.$ is $476.6 \, kJ$. Given $\Delta H_{comb} (CH_4) = -894 \, kJ \, mol^{-1}$ and $\Delta H_{comb} (C_2H_6) = -1500 \, kJ \, mol^{-1}$,calculate the percentage of methane and ethane in the mixture by volume.

  • A
    $25.5, 25.5$
  • B
    $74.5, 75.5$
  • C
    $25.5, 74.5$
  • D
    $74.5, 25.5$
