Answer:
E) C₂H₄(g) + H₂(g) ⇒ C₂H₆(g)
Explanation:
Which ONE of the following is an oxidation–reduction reaction?
A) PbCO₃(s) + 2 HNO₃(aq) ⇒ Pb(NO₃)₂(aq) + CO₂(g) + H₂O(l). NO. All the elements keep the same oxidation numbers.
B) Na₂O(s) + H₂O(l) ⇒ 2 NaOH(aq). NO. All the elements keep the same oxidation numbers.
C) SO₃(g) + H₂O(l) ⇒ H₂SO₄(aq). NO. All the elements keep the same oxidation numbers.
D) CO₂(g) + H₂O(l) ⇒ H₂CO₃(aq). NO. All the elements keep the same oxidation numbers.
E) C₂H₄(g) + H₂(g) ⇒ C₂H₆(g). YES. <u>C is reduced</u> and <u>H is oxidized</u>.
If this is just a general question it seems to vary from about 4.5g to 5g. Is there more data to the question?
Moles of Oxygen= 2.8075 moles
<h3>Further explanation</h3>
Given
29.2 grams of acetylene
Required
moles of Oxygen
Solution
Reaction(Combustion of Acetylene) :
2 C₂H₂ (g) + 5 O₂ (g) ⇒ 4CO₂ (g) + 2H₂O (g)
Mol of Acetylene :
= mass : MW Acetylene
= 29.2 g : 26 g/mol
= 1.123
From equation, mol ratio of Acetylene(C₂H₂) : O₂ = 2 : 5, so mol O₂ :
= 5/2 x mol C₂H₂
= 5/2 x 1.123
= 2.8075 moles
12, electrons dont have mass. only protons and neutrons do
