Question

When acetylene (C2H2) reacts with oxygen, it produces carbon dioxide and water, as shown below:

2 C2H2 (g) + 5 O2 (g) à 4 CO2 (g) + 2 H2O (g)

I'm not sure how to calculate how many grams of oxygen gas would be necessary to completely react with 20.00 grams of acetylene & how do I calculate the percent yield of the reaction if 20.00 grams of acetylene reacted with an excess of oxygen to form 51.25 grams of carbon dioxide.

Expert Solution
Step 1

Mass of Acetylene = 20 gram

NET BALANCED Reaction .,

2 C2H2 + 5O2 ---> 4CO+ 2H2O
