A mole of any gas occupied 22.4 L at STP. So, the number of moles of nitrogen gas at STP in 846 L would be 846/22.4 = 37.8 moles of nitrogen gas.
Alternatively, you can go the long route and use the ideal gas law to solve for the number of moles of nitrogen given STP conditions (273 K and 1.00 atm). From PV = nRT, we can get n = PV/RT. Plugging in our values, and using 0.08206 L•atm/K•mol as our gas constant, R, we get n = (1.00)(846)/(0.08206)(273) = 37.8 moles, which confirms our answer.
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.
The reaction creates dihydrogen, hence if it's uncontrolled it could lead to potentially dangerous amounts of gas being released at once.
