There would be 55.8 g present
A cation is a positively charged ion.
An anion is a negatively charged ion.
If it's neutral, it's just an ion.
D is the correct answer......
hope it help, please thank me if it did.....
The product of the complete combustion of any fuel (in this case, acetylene) are indeed water and carbon dioxide.
Balancing the combustion reaction,
C2H2 +(5/2) O2 --> 2CO2 + H2O
The number of moles of C2H2 will be,
(12 g) x (1 mole/26 g) = 6/13 mole
Then, the number of moles of O2 is,
(12 g) x (1 mole/32 g) = 3/8 mole
Therefore the limiting reaction is the O2. Getting the amount of CO2 and H2O produced from balancing,
CO2 = (3/8 moles) x (2 moles CO2/ 5/2 mole O2)(44 g/ 1 mole) = 52.8 g
H2O = (3/8 moles) x (1 mole / 5/2 mole O2)(18 g / 1 mole) = 2.7 g
