Answer: A. 20.0L

Step-by-step explanation:

According to avogadro's law, equal moles of all gases occupy equal volumes at STP.

The given balanced equation is:


2C_2H_2(g)+5O_2(g)\rightarrow 2H_2O(g)+4CO_2(g)

According to stoichiometry :

4 L of
CO_2 is formed by = 2 L of
C_2H_2

Thus 40.0 L of
CO_2 is formed by =
(2 L)/(4L)* 40.0L=20.0L of
C_2H_2

Thus 20.0 L of
C_2H_2 is required to form 40.0L of
CO_2
