Question

in the balanced chemical reaction for the combustion of acetylene (used in welding torches), determine at standard temperature and pressure, how many liters of CO2 gas are produced if 10 liters of Oxygen gas are completely consumed?

_2_C2H2 + _5_ O2 --> _4_CO2 + _2_ H2O

please help thx

Answer 1

Answer:

8L of CO2

Explanation:

The equation for the reaction is given below:

2C2H2 + 5O2 —> 4CO2 + 2H2O

From the equation above,

5L of O2 produced 4L of CO2.

Therefore, 10L of O2 will produce = (10 x 4)/5 = 8L of CO2

Therefore, 8L of CO2 is produce
