Answer:
The answer to your question is below
Explanation:
Reaction
C₂H₂ (g) + O₂(g) ⇒ CO₂ (g) + H₂O (g)
Reactants Elements Reactants
2 C 1
2 H 2
2 O 3
This reaction is unbalance
<u>Reaction balanced</u>
<u> </u><u>2</u><u>C₂H₂ (g) + </u><u>5</u><u>O₂(g) ⇒ </u><u>4</u><u>CO₂ (g) + </u><u>2</u><u>H₂O (g)</u>
Reactants Elements Reactants
4 C 4
4 H 4
10 O 10
Now, the reaction is balanced
a) Calculate the molecular mass of acetylene and water
Acetylene = (12 x 2) + (2) = 26 g
Water = (1 x 2) + (1 x 16) = 18 g
2(26) g of Acetylene --------------- 2(18) g of Water
113 g of Acetylene -------------- x
x = (113 x (2 x 18)) / 2(26)
x = 4068 / 52
<u> </u> x = 78. 2 g of water
b) 2 moles of Acetylene ------------ 4 moles of carbon dioxide
x moles of acetylene ------------ 1.10 moles of carbon dioxide
x = (1.10 x 2) / 4
x = 0.55 moles of acetylene
