Answer:. In the case of neon, it is electrical energy that pulls the electrons off.
explanation-Plasma can be made from a gas if a lot of energy is pushed into the gas. In the case of neon, it is electrical energy that pulls the electrons off. When it is time to become a gas again, just flip the neon light switch off. Without the electricity to energize the atoms, the neon plasma returns to its gaseous state.
Balanced chemical equation:
2 C2H2 + 5 O2 = 4 CO2 + 2 H2O
2 moles C2H2 ---------------- 5 moles O2
moles C2H2 ------------------ 84 moles O2
moles C2H2 = 84 * 2 / 5
molesC2H2 = 168 / 5 => 33.6 moles of C2H2
