Question

2 C2H2 + 5 O2 2 H2O + 4 CO2 what reaction type

Answer 1

Answer:

Answer: 0.4 g

Explanation:

1) Balanced chemical equation:

2) 2C2H2 + 5 O2 → 4CO2 + 2 H2O

3) mole ratios:

2 mol C2h2 : 5 mol O2

4) Convert 0.13 g C2H2 into number of moles

n = mass in grams / molar mass

molar mass C2H2 = 2 *12g/mol + 2*1 g/mol = 26 g/mol

n = 0.13 g / 26 g/mol = 0.005 mol

5) Set the proportion with the unknown

5 mol O2             x

----------------- = ---------------

2 mol C2H2      0.005 mol C2H2

x = 0.005 mol C2H2 * 5 mol O2 / 2 mol C2H2 = 0.0125 mol O2

6) Convert 0.0125 mol O2 to grams

mass = number of moles * molar mass

molar mass of O2 = 32 g/mol

mass = 0.0125 mol * 32 g/mol = 0.4 g

Answer: 0.4 g

Answer 2

Answer:

Combustion reaction

General Formulas and Concepts:

Chemistry

• Synthesis Reactions: A + B → AB

• Decomposition Reactions: AB → A + B

• Single-Replacement Reactions: A + BC → AB + C

• Double-Replacement Reactions: AB + CD → AD + BC

Explanation:

Step 1: Define

2C₂H₂ + 5O₂ → 2H₂O + 4CO₂

Step 2: Identify

Any organic molecule reacting with oxygen to produce water and carbon dioxide is a combustion reaction.

We also see from the RxN that is is a double replacement reaction.
