Acetylene (C2H2) gas and oxygen (02) gas react to form carbon dioxide (CO2) gas and water (H20) vapor. Suppose you have 2.0 mol of C,H, and 1.0 mol
of o, in a reactor
Calculate the largest amount of CO, that could be produced. Round your answer to the nearest 0.1 mol.

Respuesta :

The largest amount of CO₂ produced when 2 moles of C₂H₂ reacted with 1 mole of O₂ is 0.8 mole

We'll begin by writing the balanced equation for the reaction. This is given below:

       2C₂H₂ + 5O₂ —> 4CO₂ + 2H₂O

            2     :   5

            2     :   1    

     

From the balanced equation above,

We can see that O₂ is the limiting reactant as lesser amount of it is available.

Finally, we shall determine the largest amount of CO₂ produced by using the limiting reactant as illustrated below:

From the balanced equation above,

5 moles of O₂ reacted to produce 4 moles of CO₂.

Therefore,

1 mole of O₂ will react to produce = 4/5 = 0.8 mole of CO₂.

Thus, the largest amount of CO₂ produced from the reaction is 0.8 mole
