Chapter 8, Problem 8.23QP

(a)

Interpretation Introduction

Interpretation:

For the combustion of acetylene and ethylene samples, the product formed from the given diagrams should be identified.

Concept introduction:

• Combustion is the process of burning of a compound; in which the compound reacts with excess of oxygen.
• Combustion of hydrocarbon produces ${\text{CO}}_{\text{2}}$ and ${\text{H}}_{\text{2}}\text{O}$.
• Molecular formula of a compound represents the numbers of each elements in that compound.

To identify: the product formed for the combustion of acetylene (${\text{C}}_{\text{2}}{\text{H}}_2$) from the given diagrams.
