Acetylene gas (c2h2) reacts with oxygen gas (o2) to produce carbon dioxide (co2) and water vapor (h2o). how many liters of c2h2
are required to produce 75.0 l of co2? l what volume of h2o is produced? l what volume of o2 is required? l when making the calculations, did you need to find the number of moles?
According to the balanced equation of the reaction:
2C2H2 + 5O2 → 4CO2 + 2H2O
So we can mention all as liters,
A) as we see that 2 liters of C2H2 react with 5 liters of oxygen to produce 4 liters of CO4 and 2 liters of H2O
So, when we have 75L of CO2
and when we have 2 L of C2H2 reacts and gives 4 L of CO2
2C2H2 → 4CO2
∴ The volume of C2H2 required is:
= 75L / 2
= 37.5 L
B) and, when we have 75 L of CO2
and 4CO2 → 2H2O
∴ the volume of H2O required is:
= 75 L /2 = 37.5 L
C) and from the balanced equation and by the same way:
when 5 liters O2 reacts to give 4 liters of CO2
and we have 75 L of CO2:
5 O2 → 4 CO2
?? ← 75 L
∴ the volume of O2 required is:
= 75 *(5/4)
= 93.75 L
D) about the using of the number of moles the answer is:
no, there is no need to find the number of moles as we called everything in the balanced equation by liters and use it as a liter unit to get the volume, without the need to get the number of moles.
As you move down the periodic table, the elements get larger and gain additional electron shells, increasing the radius. In order, they are on the table as Chlorine, Selenium, Lead.
