Answer:

2.25 moles ≈ 2.3 moles

Explanation:

Full Question:

Acetylene C2H2 gas is often used in welding torches because of the very high heat produced when it reacts with oxygen O2 gas, producing carbon dioxide gas and water vapor. Calculate the moles of oxygen needed to produce 1.5mol of water. Be sure your answer has a unit symbol, if necessary, and round it to significant digits.

First off, let's put the equation of the reaction sown;

C2H2 + O2 → H2O + CO2

Upon balancing, we have;

2C2H2 + 3O2 → 2H2O + 4CO2

So from the equation;

3 mole of oxygen is required in order to produce 2 mole of water vapour.

The question asks to calculate moles of oxygen needed to produce 1.5mol of water

This leads us to;

3 moles = 2 moles

x moles = 1.5 moles

x = ( 1.5 * 3 ) / 2

x = 4.5 / 2 = 2.25 moles ≈ 2.3 moles

Write the concentrated sulphuric acid H2C2O42H2O=2H2O+CO2+CO
masha68 [24]

Answer:

H2C2O4.2H20 → CO2 + CO + H2O

Explanation:

Oxalic acid crystals are nothing but dehydrated oxalic acid (H2C2O4 . 2H2O).

On heating, the water of crystallization is lost first. Then, the dehydrated oxalic acid decomposes into carbon dioxide(CO2), carbon monoxide(CO) and water(H2O).

Equations involved :

H2C2O4 . 2H2O → H2C2O4 + 2H2O

H2C2O4 → CO2 + HCOOH (FORMIC ACID)

HCOOH → CO + H2O

Overall equation : H2C2O4.2H20 → CO2 + CO + H2O
