When acetylene, C2H2, burns in oxygen, high temperatures are produced that are used for welding metals.

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

How many grams of carbon dioxide are produced when 173.3 grams of acetylene is burned?

Answer #1

Number of moles of C2H2 = 173.3 g / 26.04 g/mol = 6.66 mole

From the balanced equation we can say that

2 mole of C2H2 produces 4 mole of CO2 so

6.66 mole of C2H2 will produce

= 6.66 mole of C2H2 *(4 mole of CO2 / 2 mole of C2H2)

= 13.3 mole of CO2

mass of 1 mole of CO2 = 44.01 g so

the mass of 13.3 mole of CO2 = 585 g

Therefore, the mass of CO2 produced would be 585 g
