It should remain constant because of the law of conservation of mass and because the flask is sealed no mass will escape
Answer:
10.6 g CO₂
Explanation:
You have not been given a limiting reagent. Therefore, to find the maximum amount of CO₂, you need to convert the masses of both reactants to CO₂. The smaller amount of CO₂ produced will be the accurate amount. This is because that amount is all the corresponding reactant can produce before it runs out.
To find the mass of CO₂, you need to (1) convert grams C₂H₂/O₂ to moles (via molar mass), then (2) convert moles C₂H₂/O₂ to moles CO₂ (via mole-to-mole ratio from reaction coefficients), and then (3) convert moles CO₂ to grams (via molar mass). *I had to guess the chemical reaction because the reaction coefficients are necessary in calculating the mass of CO₂.*
C₂H₂ + O₂ ----> 2 CO₂ + H₂
9.31 g C₂H₂ 1 mole 2 moles CO₂ 44.0095 g
------------------ x ------------------- x ---------------------- x ------------------- =
26.0373 g 1 mole C₂H₂ 1 mole
= 31.5 g CO₂
3.8 g O₂ 1 mole 2 moles CO₂ 44.0095 g
------------- x -------------------- x ---------------------- x -------------------- =
31.9988 g 1 mole O₂ 1 mole
= 10.6 g CO₂
10.6 g CO₂ is the maximum amount of CO₂ that can be produced. In other words, the entire 3.8 g O₂ will be used up in the reaction before all of the 9.31 g C₂H₂ will be used.
Moles of potassium permanganate = 0.0008
<h3>Further explanation </h3>
Titration is a procedure for determining the concentration of a solution by reacting with another solution which is known to be concentrated (usually a standard solution). Determination of the endpoint/equivalence point of the reaction can use indicators according to the appropriate pH range
Reaction
5Na2C2O4(aq) + 2KMnO4(aq) + 8H2SO4(aq) ---> 2MnSO4(aq) + K2SO4(aq) + 5Na2SO4(aq) + 10CO2(g) + 8H2O(1)
The end point ⇒titrant and analyte moles equal
titrant : potassium permanganate-KMnO4
analyte : sodium oxalate - Na2C2O4
so moles of KMnO4 = moles of Na2C2O4
moles of Na2C2O4(mass = 0.2640 g, MW=134 g/mol) :

From equation, mol ratio Na2C2O4 : KMnO4 = 5 : 2, so mol KMnO4 :
