Question

2C2H2(g)+5O2(g)⟶Δ4CO2(g)+2H2O(g)

How many moles of CO2 are produced when 3.5 mol of C2H2 react?

Expert Solution
Step 1

The given reaction is the combustion of acetylene gas in presence of oxygen. 

 2C2H2(g) + 5O------->∆ 4CO2 (g) + 2H2O(g)  

From the given reaction and looking at the stoichiometric coefficient we can say that 

1 mol of C2H2 after combustion produces 2 mol of CO2
