 <span>The </span>octet rule<span> is a chemical </span>rule<span> of thumb that reflects observation that atoms of main-group elements tend to combine in such a way that each atom has eight electrons in its valence shell, giving it the same electronic configuration as a noble gas.

Hope this helps</span>

The flame in a torch used to cut metal is produced by burning acetylene (C2H2) in pure oxygen. Assuming the combustion of 1 mole
Nookie1986 [14]

Answer:

19.8 kg of C₂H₂ is needed

Explanation:

We solve this by a rule of three:

If 1251 kJ of heat are relased in the combustion of 1 mol of acetylene

95.5×10⁴ kJ of heat may be released by the combustion of

(95.5×10⁴ kJ . 1) /1251kJ = 763.4 moles of C₂H₂

Let's convert the moles to mass → 763.4 mol . 26 g/1 mol = 19848 g

If we convert the mass from g to kg →  19848 g . 1kg / 1000g = 19.8 kg

A gas with an empirical formula C2H2O has a molecular weight of 120.6g/mol. A possible molecular formula for the gas is
Virty [35]

M(C2H2O)= 12.0*2 +1.0*2 +16.0 = 42 g/mol is a molar mass for empirical formula.

120.6g/mol/42g/mol ≈ 3

So, empirical formula should be increased 3 times,

and molecular formula is C6H6O3.

Answer is D.
