2. Acetylene (C2H2) is used in welding in areas hard to reach with electricity. It burns with oxygen to produce carbon dioxide and water according to the equation below: 2C:H2 + 502 → 4CO2 + 2H20 2a. If 4.5 grams of acetylene reacts with 0.4 moles of oxygen gas, what is the theoretical yield of water? 2b. If 0.028 grams of water was ACTUALLY produced, what is the percent yield of water?
